About the Company

Ad Infinitum is a multi-award-winning, internationally acclaimed theatre company. We collaborate to tell stories, play and disrupt. We work with artists, activists and communities to create transformative theatre, revolutionise audiences and change the world.

Founded by Co-Artistic Directors George Mann and Nir Paldi in 2007, Ad Infinitum is based in Bristol and works internationally.  A diverse-led company dedicated to making accessible, inclusive and captivating theatre, for over 18 years we have dedicated our artistic platform, as a multi-award winning, nationally-reaching devising theatre company, to championing marginalised voices in theatre and reaching underserved audiences. In 2023, we became an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.

Ad Infinitum's portfolio of 15 critically acclaimed international touring productions has been created in partnership with & commissioned by some of the UK’s leading theatre organisations including The Barbican, Bristol Old Vic, Everyman Liverpool, London International Mime Festival, The Lowry, Royal and Derngate, The Traverse and Battersea Arts Centre (BAC). Ad Infinitum has toured to over 25 countries globally including the USA, China and Brazil, and our productions have won 24 awards; most recently, Until I Find You/Hasta Encontrarte won the 2025 Cartelera de Teatro Audience Awards for Best Play and Best Actress in Mexico.

Ad Infinitum is proud to be Associate Artists at The North Wall, and a member of the Cultural Governance Alliance (CGA).

We are Associate Artist Alumni at Bristol Old Vic, Bush Theatre (2011-2013), The Lowry (2011-2017) and Redbridge Drama Centre (2009-2017).
