About us
Microwave Coven is a Folkestone based company, dedicated to finding the extraordinary in the everyday. We take stories that are rooted in the community and blur the lines between the real and the fantastical. Through our Youth & Yore project, we collaborate inter-generationally with local communities, to create magical realism family theatre that is unique to each place.
We are focussed on making our workshops and performances accessible and affordable to all and dedicated to making work that is reflective of the community it is created in.
