A Note from the Artistic Director
Let’s begin again.
So, the song goes.
Or we could carry on doing, as we have done. For me, the theatre is both. Each time we embark on a new play, we collect around us a new family. We immerse ourselves in a new society with a new point or points of view. And we see the world, or strive to, through the eyes of another. That sounds a lot like empathy to me. It sounds a lot like an investment in the future. The theatre isn’t dying. No, rather, it is dead. Really. As of last night. But the good news is: tonight it is reborn. And in that rebirth, hope. Where does hope lie, in this age? Come to the theatre. Tonight. And find out.
