We are a theatre company committed to work that addresses contemporary themes which are rarely spoken about, the "elephant in the room." With courage, vitality and humor, Mustique Projects speaks to the person struggling in today's world to maintain their sense of identity and ethics with compassion.
Bad theatre affirms peoples' beliefs, good theatre challenges people's beliefs and great theatre changes people's beliefs. We aspire to do great theatre.
