Experiment86

We are a new theatre group founded in London and Luton area.

Company Info

Experiment 86 was co-founded in 2008 by Thomas J Millington and Bob Pritchard in ‘Tim’s Kitchen’ in Luton with a confirmation phone call from Michael Moussoulides, who was in Cyprus.

Experiment 86 was born with a desire to create imaginative and visually striking work that is, at its heart, always experimental. Through the medium of theatre we are only bound by the limits of our imagination. We want to fuse the frantic with the delicate, the big with the small, and the funny with the sad.

Members:

Thomas J Millington - Artistic Director/Writer/Performer

Thomas & Michael studied Physical Theatre with Drama together at St. Mary’s College for 3 years and they both graduated from the University of Surrey. Throughout their time they collaborated on many projects, one of them being ‘Basic Dressing’ which was originally part of a much longer piece. It was created by the both of them and their company at the time called SCRAPS.

Bob Pritchard – Co-writer/Director

Bob studied Biochemistry at the University of Kent and has co-written the first episode of a sitcom with Thomas entitled ‘All the Money of the Simple Life Honey’. He has also written a short play entitled ‘Strangers in the Family’. Working on these projects and with Experiment 86 is a slight departure from what he has previously studied.
