Speaking of her artistic vision for the Theatre’s future, Elizabeth stated: “In the coming years we want to celebrate our loyal audiences and actively reach out to new audiences we’ve yet to meet. We will make more co-productions, work for children and young people, and open our Studio doors to new artists, companies, and theatre makers. In this new programme, which includes world premieres, new partnerships, and unique performances, it is our hope that we’ve begun to bring that vision to life.”
