The company was formed by Leeds University graduates Alex Monk, Sam Berrill and David Cartwright in September 2012, and is dedicated to the ideas of collective creation and ensemble theatre.

The Manic Chord Theatre company is becoming increasingly well-known for its raw and energetic works, often with an emphasis on story tell and stunning visuals. They are resident artists at Temple.Works.Leeds and offer internships to students in Leeds providing the chance to work with the company on its artistic output and as part of the education programme.

After What Comes Before is the company's first show and was performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2013, receiving high audience numbers and positive critical acclaim, with double five stars. The Festival wrote that the show ‘fizzes with energy, is hysterically funny, and is an unforgettable experience’.
