Art x Crisis
For Spring 2024, we’re bringing together a range of exciting new works with art and power at their core – from thought-provoking international theatre to a riotous takeover tackling the biggest issues facing Britain today.

From the climate crisis to the cost of living, nothing is off the table at The Fête of Britain. Take your seat and have your voice heard in this four-day takeover chock full with performances, talks, workshops and more from Hard Art – a movement of artists, musicians and others in the creative and cultural worlds including Brian Eno, Es Devlin and Jeremy Deller, who have teamed up to create a new culture of participation and positive change.
On stage, face the brutal reality of the American Dream in Dark Noon – as seven South African actors recreate the Wild West and the race for land, gold and a place to call home.
Then uncover a hidden history in The Long Shadow of Alois Brunner – a gripping play from Syrian playwright Mudar Alhaggi which interrogates the true story of one of the most wanted Nazi criminals to escape sentencing.
