Walk the Plank (theatre company)

Walk the Plank are a British group of artists, theatre makers, pyrotechnicians and event engineers who specialise in outdoor arts/theatre, touring performance and pyrotechnics.

The company was established by John Wassell and Liz Pugh in 1991, who identified a niche market for a touring theatre ship, and other aquatic shows on the waterways.

The company's Senior Management Team (including co-founders John Wassell and Liz Pugh and Project Directors Andy Stratford and Billie Klinger) are trusted advisers in the areas of outdoor arts and cultural events.

In 2003 the ship went on a national tour to 19 ports with a stage adaption of Jules Verne's 1870 novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, to positive reviews.

Walk the Plank continue to focus on delivering large scale outdoor events, creating touring performances and providing pyrotechnics and firework displays to both public sector and private corporate organisations.
