Director Talks

Discover more about the plays on stage in our pre-show talks with the Director.

We offer talks with members of each show's director and/or writer in conversation, talking about some of the influences and decisions that have created the production. From rehearsal room processes and design choices, to characterisation and relationships this is a fascinating insight into the creative process.

To learn more from behind the scenes of a production, visit the Creative Conversations YouTube playlist and hear creatives working on our shows talk about our productions, how they work and what they want you to take away from the shows you experience.
