Welcome
We are Fractured Time Productions, a female-led, sustainable, ethnically diverse and inclusive, UK-based theatre company directed by Claire-Monique Martin and Verônica Sarno. The company brings the classics to life by reimagining them through the lens of today’s language, culture, and lived experience. We delve into the past to shed light on the present, drawing inspiration from historical events, Shakespeare and his contemporaries, relist authors such as Anton Chekhov, Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams and new translations of Ancient Greek tragedies.
Alongside our creative work, we run acting workshops and classes that focus on both the craft and the business of acting. These sessions are tailored for schools, drama institutions, and companies across the UK and Europe, aiming to empower the next generation of performers with practical tools, industry knowledge, and artistic inspiration.
Fractured Time is where the past meets the present—reimagined, reassembled, and brought vividly to life!

Support bold new theatre.
Support independent artists.
Support stories that matter.
In January 2027, Fractured Time Productions will bring The Dying Wish to the Drayton Arms Theatre in London for a five-performance run.
Why we're fundraising
Independent theatre is powered by passionate artists, but producing ambitious work comes with high costs.
Your donation will help us:
Pay our six professional actors fairly.
Support our stage manager and creative team.
Build a sustainable set using reclaimed and recycled materials.
Purchase costumes and props.
Create high-quality marketing to reach new audiences.
Deliver post-show discussions that continue the conversation beyond the performance.
Every contribution helps us create opportunities for freelance artists while bringing original theatre to audiences in London.
Our First Fundraising Goal: £1,000
This will give us an important starting point towards the immediate costs of getting The Dying Wish back into rehearsal and ultimately onto the stage.
Rather than waiting for one large source of funding to come through, we want to start building the production now — one step at a time.
