HighTide Symposium
This symposium brings together theatre experts to explore the strengths and omissions in the new plays produced in British Theatre since HighTide started in 2007. Whether you regularly see new plays, or if you have a passing interest, you will hear the reasons for programming plays direct from the decision makers, who will reflect on the artistic trends, political and social shifts, and the funding realities that have shaped a decade of contemporary British theatre.
