“Alternative Facts is an important company on the national stage, consistently delivering surprising, strikingly original and memorable theatre works that explore important contemporary issues.” 

Tom Gutteridge, Monash University Performing Arts Centres

Alternative Facts creates theatre works of social relevance, aesthetic rigour and emotional impact – theatre designed to change the world, one person at a time. Under the leadership of theatre maker David Williams and producer Suzie Franke, the theatre of Alternative Facts explores contemporary social life in all its complexity, messiness, beauty, and strangeness.

Since 2017 Alternative Facts has partnered with the Pam McLean Centre to tour Grace Under Pressure to 12 hospitals across NSW, completed a 15-venue regional tour of Quiet Faith, and a 20-venue tour of Grace Under Pressure. Alternative Facts produced the award-winning Grand Theft Theatre (by Pony Cam & David Williams), for Adelaide Festival 2024. 

Alternative Facts’ Grace Under Pressure (2020-2022) was hailed as ‘culture-changing’ in the health sector, and received powerful audience responses nationwide. Professor Michelle Leech, Deputy Dean of Medicine at Monash University, suggested that this play would quite literally save lives. She further noted: “Grace Under Pressure is an incredible piece of theatre and I feel everyone in the health system should see it. It describes messages very clearly that are often quite hard to express and I feel it will help people who struggle with health culture sense they are not so alone.” 

Current works include Sincere Apologies, Is Shakespeare in this Movie?, Democracy Sausage and Public Good.
