Miriam Allott Series 2016-17 Tickets

The Miriam Allott Series 2016-17 was an annual event that was dedicated to celebrating the work of contemporary playwrights and theatre practitioners.

The series began in October 2016 and ran through to May 2017. The line-up of events included talks, seminars and performances by some of the most exciting and innovative voices in modern theatre.

One of the highlights of the series was a talk by director Ivo van Hove, who discussed his process and approach to directing contemporary plays. Van Hove is renowned for his minimalist productions of classics such as Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge and Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler.

Another key event in the series was a performance of Sarah Kane’s Blasted, directed by James Dacre. This controversial play explores themes of violence and trauma and was met with mixed reactions when it premiered in 1995. However, the production was hailed as a triumph and was lauded for its powerful performances and stark staging.

Other events included talks on emerging theatre trends, panel discussions on contemporary British theatre and masterclasses with some of the industry’s top directors and actors.

Overall, the Miriam Allott Series 2016-17 was a valuable resource for theatre professionals and enthusiasts alike. It highlighted the diversity and creativity of contemporary theatre while also providing a platform for established and emerging practitioners to share their work and ideas.
