A Manifesto for our Future
In celebration of 40 years of making radical and international theatre, we created A Manifesto for our Future as a way to shout about the things we believe in, and declare the things we want to be held accountable for. We wanted a way to imagine possible futures and celebrate our values as a starting point for change.
New Associates
The Queer House, run by Charlotte Boden and Yaz Zadeh joined our cohort of brilliant Associate Artists including Jude Christian, Rosie Elnile and Anthony Simpson Pike.
The Queer House are set up to respond to the lack of queer representation in the theatre industry across casting and production. We’ll be working with them not only to support and foreground their productions, including presenting their Edinburgh Festival Double Bill, but also to embed their thinking and practice into our work at the Gate.
Making our work even more accessible
High Fiver: £5 Tickets For Under 30s
Our audience sits at the heart of what we do and we want as many people as possible to join the conversation.
That’s why we introduced a ticket offer for Under 30s to show up on the night from 6.30pm and take any remaining ticket for just a fiver. We still think that’s worth a high five!

40 Years in 40 Weeks: The Gate Theatre Archive
The artists who have been part of the Gate’s history make a formidable list that includes Sarah Kane, Katie Mitchell, Sophie Okonedo, and Stephen Daldry.
We worked with Madhia Hussein and Yunique Enim Adousei from Royal Holloway to unpack and digitalise our treasure trove of theatrical history.
Each week, starting in September 2019, we shared a piece of material from our archive from each year of our history.

We were thrilled to be the UK partner for the Fabulamundi Europe network a network of 15 theatres, companies and festivals across 10 European countries.
Fabulamundi Playwriting Europe: Beyond Borders? promotes contemporary playwriting from some of the most exciting voices across the continent.
