Led by David Hamblett and Judy Reaves, Hambletts specialise in producing exciting new projects, taking them to unusual spaces and creating new audiences.
We are producers of Words & Music theatrical presentations and plays, touring the UK, from no 1 venues to small halls, for one-nighters and short runs - highlighting great authors, and stories, brought to life through storytelling, performed by wonderful actors and musicians.
Hambletts’ production in collaboration with David Le Page and Orchestra of the Swan, Red Sky at Sunrise: Laurie Lee in Words and Music, sold out at the RSC’s Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford, and is currently on tour, having also sold out at Oxford Playhouse, Salisbury International Arts Festival, Chelsea Arts Club, Malvern Festival Theatre, Painswick Rococo Garden (outdoors), Saffron Hall, Royal & Derngate, Buxton Opera House, and Wilton’s Music Hall. The show has been featured by Cerys Matthews (BBC Radio 6 Music), BBC Radio 3’s In Tune and BBC R4’s flagship Today programme.

A Beautiful Thread: Thomas Hardy in Words and Music
Dear Loll- a wartime marriage in letters
