History = a series of endless cataclysms
Poetry = in the middle of all this a human voice is trying to sing

A play.

"This season is about power, what it means to take it, who holds our narratives, how to wrestle them back"

We're proud to announce AD Bec Martin's first full season!

It's a battle cry, a new beginning and a statement of intent.

If I could define my mission it’s this : To protect a little flame of mischief - playfulness, creativity, free associative thought- in myself and others as we negotiate out way through education and work.

[Ned Glasier @nedglasier]

Theatre folk (earnestly): The neoliberal establishment is crushing art and we should resist it with everything we’ve got.

Also theatre folk (breathlessly): Our show made it to the West End and got a 4-star review in the Telegraph and an award sponsored by Coutts!

Current reading. Some very good sections on the beats in scenes in silent comedy. But what play wouldn’t benefit from a little clown dramaturgy ? 🤡

100% cuts to arts and culture from city councils in Nottingham and Birmingham announced in the space of a couple weeks. i don’t even know what to say.

I first met Sarah in 1989. She was the lead in Howard Barker’s Victory & we chatted after. She was smart, intelligent, very funny. I saw her 1st play, Comic Monologue, a year later, a brutally shattering experience. And a few years later I saw Blasted and my theatre life changed.

"Fourteen years of austerity and here’s where we are. Birmingham is about to suffer the largest cuts in local authority history, and of course the arts are the first thing to go." - playwright Joe White.

Navalny dead. I’d like to say it was a shock but in truth it was probably only a matter of time. Now watch the Putin lie machine swing into action, helped by their professional propagandists at home and useful idiots around the world.

📢 Art is not a luxury
📢 Art should not be perceived as a luxury
📢 Everyone should have access to art
📢 Everyone should be encouraged to access art whether that's making it or consuming it
📢 You can not make art with no resources
📢 You can not consume art if it's expensive

“"Modern theater must be judged not by the extent to which it satisfies the habits of the audience, but by the extent to which it changes them." Today Bertolt Brecht, founder of the Berliner Ensemble, would have celebrated his 126th birthday.” 🎉

[The Stage @TheStage]

National Youth Theatre (@NYTofGB) artistic director and chief executive Paul Roseby criticised the "devastating market in the arts", driven by underfunding and lack of creative provision in schools.

‘Theatre needs a task force that not just seeks, but also shapes solutions across talent development, revenue, sponsorship, salaries, job security…’

What does Kwame Kwei-Armah's departure tell us about arts leadership today? https://t.co/Z0pLrSODS3

My personal belief is : always be learning. The pressure is always: consolidate, deliver, monetise, be fixed. I will be resisting all those in 2024 and continue my life long learning phase !
