Our 10th Birthday Season Finale

25 November 2021

The party continues as we announce the climax of our 10th anniversary season!

From January - July 2022, we're welcoming three major new commissions from companies who have been an essential part of our first decade, trailblazing to international recognition and critical acclaim here in the UK - plus some collaborations new to NDT, which we know you're going to love.

And it's all topped off by the ludicrous offer of free pizza for every audience member, every performance. Nom, nom, nom.

Have a browse through what we've got in store, with Guy J Sanders' beautiful artwork.

New commissions

NDT Associate Company Kandinsky present THE WINSTON MACHINE, an epic, intimate, state-of-the-nation show about our contested heritage and the shadow of Winston Churchill.

Kandinsky were last at NDT in 2019 with Dinomania: 'No-one else makes theatre quite like this.' â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜… Time Out.

Another NDT Associate Company Rhum + Clay present PROJECT DICTATOR, a darkly comic world premiere about artistic expression, created in anonymous collaboration with artists living under authoritarian regimes. The company return after a world tour with 2019 NDT commission The War of the Worlds: 'Wit, pungency and physical skill... deft and ingenious.' â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜… The Guardian.

And Deafinitely Theatre return with EVERYDAY, a visually-rich, playful and pulsatingly urgent world premiere drawing on real-life interviews with victims of domestic abuse, combining BSL and English in the company’s unique bilingual style. Deafinitely have had a string of hits at NDT, including 2018's blazingly original 4.48 Psychosis: 'Paula Garfield’s powerful production... heartfelt.' â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜… The Guardian.

More delights

The season also welcomes IT DON'T WORRY ME, a furiously original and confoundingly funny collaboration from Bert & Nasi and ATRESBANDES as part of an international tour, PASSION FRUIT from shimmering newcomer Dior Clarke and co-writer Stephanie Martin off the back of a sell-out run at The Glory, WHEN THIS IS OVER from Camden Youth Theatre.

And - an NDT first - a film premiere of BOYS from The PappyShow. Details with streaming and screening times to be announced, Spring, 2022.

Free pizza

More than anything, this season is about bringing people together for a feast of bold live experiences and vital conversations. After every performance, we are delighted to be partnering with Domino’s Camden to offer every audience member free slices of pizza - with the hope that it will fuel post-show discussion and shared time with friends.

Nom nom nom.

David Byrne, Artistic Director, said:

‘Ten years ago we founded NDT on the vision of being the first “companies theatre”. A decade on, the groups supported by NDT blaze a trail of international acclaim and growing artistic vision, at the heart of a new movement in British theatre. We’re glad to have three of the very best – Kandinsky, Rhum + Clay and Deafinitely Theatre – back home to celebrate this moment with us, each with their best work yet.’

Will Young, Executive Director, said:

‘During lockdown, as much as we missed live theatre, we also missed the post-show conversations it inspired among friends and fellow theatre-goers. The shows in this season animate major debates of our times, and partnering with our local Domino’s, we’ll feed our entire audience every night, encouraging them to stay and fuelling new conversations.'

Audience access

This season we're also introducing Babes-In-Arms matinees for all three of our major commissions, alongside our regular programme of Captioned & Relaxed Performances.

You can read all about how we plan to make these performances super accessible and comfortable for our audiences right here. We will also continue to offer £3 Jobseekers Allowance tickets to previews of every show.
