About Playhouse Creatures Theatre Company What’s in a name? Before naming ourselves Playhouse Creatures we were just four artists collaborating and thinking about the type of work that we want to create together as an ensemble. It was while reading our 2010 fall production of The Libertine by Stephen Jeffreys when the phrase playhouse creature first surfaced. Rochester’s wife, Elizabeth Malet, refers to the restoration actress, Elizabeth Barry, as a playhouse creature. It was later through a bit of research that we discovered that the first women actors were called playhouse creatures.
As an ensemble we were fascinated by this idea of artists on the fringe.
-Throughout history actors have been viewed as the misfits of society.
-The root word for creature is CREA which comes from the Latin creare which means to CREATE.
