sustained theatre

Sustained Theatre is taking part in the forthcoming 'Riksteatern Theatre Days' Sweden (Nov 19th - Nov 21st)

Programmed over three days, 'Riksteatern Theatre Days' events focus upon a range of items that develop understanding of internationalism through theatre practise.

As part of Sustained Theatres ongoing work with Internationalism, key seminars and presentations will be made by Sustained Theatre and artists from the UK Sector. These events are alongside contributions from Artistic Directors Baba Israel (Contact Theatre, Manchester) and John McGrath (National Youth Theatre of Wales).
