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!
