Join Paines Plough for a bumper celebration of new writing and writers, to celebrate the theatre company’s 50th birthday and raise funds to secure their future.
Since 1974, Paines Plough have commissioned, produced and supported over 500 playwrights, including James Graham, Sarah Kane, Dennis Kelly, Miriam Battye, Simon Stephens , Nathan Bryon, Kae Tempest, Vinay Patel, Mike Bartlett, Chloe Moss, Duncan Macmillan, Amy Trigg, Zia Ahmed and Anna Jordan.
In February for one night only, you’re invited to an evening of one-off performances, beautiful reunions and raffle prizes to celebrate the company’s last 50 years, and to raise money for the next 50.
The event will feature extracts of some of Paines Plough’s most beloved plays in its 50 year history by writers including Sarah Kane and Simon Stephens – with guest performers Monica Dolan, Tom Sturridge, Alfred Enoch and Amy Trigg, with more guests to be announced nearer to the event.
This event is part of Paines Plough’s 50 for 50 campaign, which aims to raise £50,000 to support its work at a time where new writing is under threat. There are so many stories in danger of never being heard, and we want to make sure we can spend another 50 years finding them.
If you are unable to attend the Gala but would like to donate to Paines Plough, please donate to our JustGiving appeal at this link.
Please note: casting is subject to change.
