The Department of Ulterior Motives (DUM) is a Brighton-based, neurodiverse-led theatre company dedicated to making ambitious work achievable alongside regular working lives. We specialise in high-concept, low-budget productions that can be staged anywhere from outdoor spaces and cramped basements to traditional theatres. Drawing primarily on stories from the public domain, our shows blend fast, physical, ensemble performance with clear, accessible storytelling that tackles identity, community and authoritarianism with a mischievously political edge.
