Marlborough Productions (MP) is a leading UK producer of queer-led, intersectional performance, parties, heritage and radical community gatherings.

Led by Creative Director Tarik Elmoutawakil and Executive Director David Sheppeard, MP is a pioneering producing organisation that advances equality and social justice through intersectional queer culture. Over the past ten years, MP has become nationally and internationally recognised for commissioning innovative new work from extraordinary artists. We reclaim spaces to create and share culture. We reach new audiences and develop communities.

From David and Tarik: 

“This is a hugely exciting time to join our trustee group as Marlborough Productions enters Arts Council England’s National Portfolio  for the first time in April 2023. With this sustained support over three years (2023-26) we will have the opportunity to work with even more phenomenal queer artists and inspiring communities across the UK. Our trustees have always been an invaluable source of support, encouragement as well as being great fun to be around! We’re looking forward to meeting new allies and friends through this process.” 

OUR VISION:  Queer people everywhere are liberated & limitless in their creativity.

OUR MISSION: to be a catalyst for queer community & culture
