Theatre is a physical space and medium like no other. It has three physical walls. The 'fourth wall' being the boundary between stage and audience.
The 'fifth wall' is how the mind perceives what it sees, either allowing, or not, reality to be suspended and immersion into the story unfolding be achieved.
These magical, transformative, fantastical moments are when the 'fifth wall' is broken; a suspension of disbelief.

Fifth Wall Creative exists to fulfil the creative vision of our clients and assist in curating these moments. With a focus on set, lighting and prop design for theatrical productions and corporate events, Fifth Wall Creative’s niche is their ability to interpret a client’s vision, see the big picture, then work within the practical confines of time, finances and physics to arrive at a solution that enables the audience to break the 'fifth wall' of their experience and imagination.

Fifth Wall Creative's Director and Designer, Ben Hambling's passion for theatre began 30 years ago and he has been working professionally in the industry for more than 20 years. Over this time he has honed his skills in a wide range of stage craft; initially onstage as a trained dancer and actor then later taking an interest in lighting and the technical aspects of theatre. This led to an award-winning career specialising in lighting design and technical management.

As well as this, Ben has continued to be involved in local productions, wearing multiple hats including Director, Choreographer, Performer, Technical Director, Lighting Designer, Set Designer, and Set construction; often taking on several of these roles in a single production. The breadth of Ben's skills and intimate knowledge of all aspects of theatre is what allows Fifth Wall Creative to bring your big-picture vision to life.
