Actual Size Theatre Company

We create socially engaged theatre which examines all facets of the human experience.

Founded by performer and composer Paul Dale-Vickers in 2014, the company’s aim from the outset was develop new ideas and to experiment with form. The success of Paul’s musical monologue ‘De Profundis’ which won the New Musical Theatre Project at Leicester Square gave the company it’s focus, which is to create musical theatre rooted in concept and performance as opposed to spectacle and large scale production values; in essence to offer a more intimate musical theatre experience.

Really excited for the new show. 2023 is going to be awesome.

David Coggins and Paul Dale-Vickers have teamed up to write a new musical 'The Unlikely Salvation of Xander Gibley'. Set in a high School, somewhere in America we are introduced to the complex, yet compelling lives of a group of high school students, who, for one day only are off curriculum, 'It's Career Day'! The endlessly optimistic Xander Gibley hopes to prove that they are so much more than just a high school counsellor as they devote the day to inspiring the students to make the most of their lives, only to find that it is their own salvation in question. The show is a heartfelt insight into the complex world of Generation Z. ‘TUSOXG’ is poignant, hilarious and full of heart with infectious tunes and a punchy script; this new musical is one not to miss. WARNING! contains strong language.

Mechanics Theatre, Wakefield 02nd & 03rd March 2023.
