Uncle Vanya UK Tour
Amy will be joining Theatrical Niche again this Summer as Movement Director for their Autumn tour of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya. Directed by Nadia Papachronopoulou, new adaptation by Venetia Twigg.
Isolated and seemingly beyond help, the weary inhabitants of one country household plunge head over heels in lust when a beautiful stranger arrives. As the owner announces the estate sale for his own gain, the strains of repression and a chaste rural life begin to bubble among the hard-working occupants, until Uncle Vanya himself hits boiling point.
Theatrical Niche's acclaimed physical theatre team collaborate with rural artist Lily Hunter Green, creating a unique showcase of art intertwined with this Russian masterpiece of desperation and the undeniable need for affection, at all costs.

Reviews are in for A Doll's House
‘Utilising choreography by Amy Lawrence, the cast through movement and the spoken word indirectly give a context to the play’s 21st century world.’ ★★★★★ – BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL
'West End Worthy' ★★★★★ – COLCHESTER LIFE
‘The piece’s strengths lie in this collision of, as the company themselves put it, Verbatim interviews and Emotive Choreography. The choreography was indeed emotive and the use of real-life accounts of abuse and mental issues were creatively delivered and resulted in moving moments of physical expression and devastating recounts of cruelty.’ – LONDON THEATRE
A Doll's House
Theatrical Niche present their adaptation of A Doll's House, touring the UK now.
Mr & Mrs Helmer are the iconic power couple. They excel at work, staying on top, socialising. They excel at excelling.
But as his autobiography rolls out around Christmas-time, it seems there are a few things that Mr. Helmer may not have mentioned in the foreword.
Working with some of the UK's leading Mental Health and Domestic Abuse charities, we use Verbatim interviews and emotive Choreography to rocket Ibsen's famous tale into a hugely relevant re-telling for modern audiences.
Exploring stigmas around gender expectations and mental health, this artful adaptation focuses on the impossible idolisation of one 'perfect' woman, by a man who walks with weights around his ankles.
