Trestle has been making innovative and inspirational physical storytelling theatre since 1981. Originally known for their work with masks, Trestle Unmasked collaborates with UK and international artists to unify movement, music and text into a compelling theatrical experience. Our productions tour nationally engaging a diverse range of audiences and reach out to as many people as possible with an unrivalled participatory programme.
