About The Bohemians
The Bohemians are an actor-musician theatre company formed by Rose Bruford graduates with a mission to make theatre that is musically, visually and politically charged with actor-musicians and live music at the heart of the stories we tell. We create bold and challenging musicals, gig theatre and theatre for family audiences.
