What We Do.
We gather stories and human experiences from all over the world and bring them to Barcelona.
Our Story.
Barcelona is one of the most international cities in the world, and yet the people who live here — locals and internationals alike — often exist in parallel. Blue Book Theatre Company was born from a simple belief: that theatre can change that. We are a multicultural ensemble of artists from over 25 countries, producing professional plays in English — not because English is anyone’s mother tongue, but because it’s the language we all share. It’s the neutral ground where a Catalan actor, a Georgian dancer, an Irish playwright, and a Kazakh performer can stand side by side and tell a story that belongs to all of them.
Since we began, we have produced over a dozen major productions on the stages of Barcelona — from Agatha Christie to Annie Baker, from dark comedy to intimate two-handers — and in 2026 we were named Theatre Company of the Year by the Spanish Business Awards. But the work isn’t really about the awards, or even the plays. It’s about what happens in the audience: the moment a local Barcelonian and a newly arrived expat sit next to each other, laugh at the same line, and feel — maybe for the first time — that they are part of the same city. That is what we are building. Not just a theatre company. A shared space for Barcelona to see itself, and the world, differently.
Blue Book Theatre Company is dedicated to Joshua James Kelly who passed away peacefully in April of 2023. He loved live theatre and being surrounded by generous and loving human beings.
