Last week we kicked off our 2026 Emerging Directors Programme - and what a group!

Over the next few months they will take part in a series of intensive workshops and rehearsals exploring a variety of scripts and genres, guided by expert theatre makers and teachers culminating in a staged presentation in July.

We can't wait to see what they develop - and to share their work with you all.

Thanks to and to our dear friends for all the support in making this possible. ❣
