Proper Chuffed Productions
Proper Chuffed Productions, established in 2022 by Fabien O'Farrell, has quickly made its mark in the theatre scene with its compelling and socially relevant productions. The company’s debut play, Bye Bye Baby, achieved both box office and critical success at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2022, followed by multiple sold-out shows in Sheffield and Leeds. Building on this success, Fabien wrote and directed Top of the World in 2023, a powerful exploration of female mental health, which also triumphed at the Edinburgh Fringe and had a sold-out performance at Sheffield Theatre Deli.
Fabien O'Farrell, a freelance facilitator, regularly collaborates with Sheffield schools and community organisations to enhance creative outreach for young people aged 14-24. As of 2024, this community engagement has been integrated into Proper Chuffed Productions, reflecting the company's commitment to expanding its impact. Proud partners of Create Sheffield, Proper Chuffed Productions is excited to continue championing innovative theatre and community involvement.
