The Wrestling School is a European theatre company that explores the relationship between language and communication, performer and audience through the work of the playwright, Howard Barker.

Barker's plays explore power, sexuality and human behaviour with a poetic and compelling language that overflows with ideas, beauty, violence and rich, dark comedy. The company has a reputation for outstanding productions of these inspiring texts, presenting them all over the UK and northern Europe to critical acclaim, drawing enthusiastic audiences into a compelling experience of language, sound and image.
