Objectives

Upstart exists to create compelling and entertaining theatre which confronts the biggest questions facing the society we live in, and that puts dialogue with the audience at its heart. As well as working with playwrights including Dawn King (winner of the Papatango and NT Foundation Awards for Foxfinder) and Jack Thorne (Skins, This Is England, The Fades) we collaborate with theatre-makers such as Oscar Mike (The Falling Sickness, The Situation Room).

Activities

Our productions include Microcosm at Soho Theatre (as an associate producer in collaboration with Turner & Co Productions and paper/scissors/stone), The Situation Room by Oscar Mike (UK tour and full run at Shoreditch Town Hall), The Maddening Rain (UK tour and 59E59 Theaters New York, in collaboration with Darbourne Luff),Oh Well Never Mind Bye by Steven Lally (Union Theatre, London),Water Sculptures & ZOO by Dawn King (Theatre503 and English Theatre of Bruges).

We are currently working with Pathos Theatre Munich and Highway Productions in Athens on PHONE HOME, an innovative digital theatre project about migration and Europe.
