The Sultan’s Elephant is brought to you by Artichoke, a creative company founded by Helen Marriage and Nicky Webb. Our projects include setting up the first arts programme at Canary Wharf in the early nineties, and transforming the Salisbury Festival from a local event into what The Times called ‘a miracle of modern British culture.’

Artichoke works in unusual places: in streets, public spaces or in the countryside. We don’t believe the arts should take place only behind the closed doors of our theatres and art galleries. Instead, we put on shows that, though ambitious and complex, have something to say to the widest possible audience.
