THERE HAS POSSIBLY BEEN AN INCIDENT by Chris Thorpe. Directed by Sam Pritchard. Our work is all about Exchange. Creative exchanges with artists, audiences and communities help shape our programme and our future. This Autumn/Winter we are connecting with more people than ever before in exchanges that will help us share some of the world’s most powerful stories and explore our imaginations. The season is full of big, bold shows with a wide appeal including our first collaborations with Talawa Theatre Company and West Yorkshire Playhouse. Our spaces will all be used in new ways to tell stories that will bring people together. The results will also be seen beyond our building.

Sometimes planes don’t land the way they’re supposed to. The people of a country have had enough of their leaders, but those leaders have to be replaced with something. A man walks into the lobby of a building and brings death with him to prove his point. ‘POWERFUL, UNCOMPROMISING and STIMULATING.
