One Off Productions is a small indie theatre company co-founded by Rupert Spraul and Hannah Gregory. “OOPs” was borne from a single crystalline vision. A nagging idea that became our first production “Romeo and Juliet: A Fool’s Paradise.” We co-founded One Off Productions. Assembled an inspired team. We worked so hard, with no end or gain in mind but the satisfaction of having realized a vision. We are One Off Productions because we take it one show at a time. There is no pressure to pump out a certain number of shows. We have no interest in curating a season. Each show is a singular event. A momentary ecosystem. A stand alone vision. A one off. OOPs is a playground for nagging ideas and collaborative spirit.

 

​We believe theatre is communion. In an increasingly personally isolated world theatre continues to provide an essential ancient communal expression. To be in a room where real human beings are breathing and expressing and creating a singular event is to be a participant in its creation. A film can play to an empty room and it will always be the same. Because it isn’t alive. A live theatrical performance can never be the same, try as it may. Every laugh, cough, smell, breath, creaking chair, distant siren, surprised silence, piece of clothing on a front row audience member changes it. Every unacknowledged seemingly irrelevant happening in the lives of each actor and each audience member actually changes it. It is continually discovered. Every performance of every show has its singular birth and death.
