Nutkhut

We create quality, accessible performance work, working in the outdoors and in response to specific Nutkhut has been delighting audiences since 2003.

We are a major presence in the outdoor performing arts sector, and work regularly with festivals and events across the UK and beyond. Nutkhut is led by two British Asian artists, Simmy Gupta and Ajay Chhabra. The company is unique as it draws inspiration from the Artistic Directors’ backgrounds and mixes it with a very British sense of humour and mischief. Nutkhut is highly representative of modern Britain. We create work which could only have come from the here and now.

We have had the pleasure of working with students at Richmond College, Farnborough College, Sandwell College, George Dixon Academy, and The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama this year, and we have been consistently blown away by the levels of talent and commitment in these young people!

Plus, an extra special shout out to the parents watching their beloved children embark into the next chapter of their lives 🥹
