2013 –14 has been an exhilarating year during
which we have been working hard to break new
ground and deliver work which is more ambitious
than ever before.
A highlight for us all has been Home Theatre (UK),
a bold international project with partners in Brazil
that saw 30 new, one person shows performed
in 30 homes across the capital. This was a truly
remarkable project with work as diverse as london
itself that challenged traditional notions of theatre-
going and opened up possibilities to experience and
engage with theatre in new ways.
Digital technology was a really important aspect of
the Home Theatre (UK), using it to share our work
and open up discussion about it. In November we
launched www.stratfordeast.tv with a 15-hour
broadcast of the shows in people’s homes filmed by
students from the University of Reading. So far, over
20,000 minutes have been viewed online.
In spring 2014 we staged the olivier nominated
show Oh What A Lovely War coinciding with Joan
littlewood’s centenary and marking 100 years
since the outbreak of the First World War. We knew
that this landmark production would still resonate
with today’s generation and ambitiously set about
inviting every secondary school from across england
to respond to the show and its themes, offering them
the opportunity to perform curtain-raisers on our
stage; the response saw over 200 schools take part
online and over 200 pupils on our stage.
In 2013 we were part of the launch of london
Borough of Newham’s Every Child A Theatre Goer,
a ground-breaking initiative to ensure that all pupils
get the opportunity to see a theatre production
during the academic year. In addition to this over
3,000 young people worked with our team with
performances on our stage, and at a wide range of
venues including the olympic Park and a train!
We continued to place emerging artists and new
writing centre-stage, building on our unrivalled
reputation for talent development. This has included
the ever-popular bi-monthly MonologueSlamUK with
our partners TriForce Promotions giving actors the
chance to take their careers on to the next level. We
have also supported the publication of 2 anthologies
of monologues for Black actors, which were the first
of their kind. This year’s Musical Theatre Initiative
was opened up with calls for artists and writers from
across the UK. We also staged 2 more Angelic Tales
new writing festivals with 17 plays from some of
today’s most outstanding emerging writers.
The olympics legacy continues with the opening of
the new Queen elizabeth Park on our doorstep and
we are immensely excited by the pace of change and
all this means for us; we are placing ourselves at
the heart of it all. Thank you to so many of you for
your continued engagement with us and we look
forward to you playing an active role in our future.
KERRY MICHAEL
Artistic Director
During the last year Theatre Royal Stratford East
has produced a diverse and high quality programme
of work unlike any other venue; the year began with
Gutted, a fast-paced and daring new play by Rikki
Beadle-Blair and ended with the Olivier nominated
Oh What A Lovely War, which was staged as part of
the national First World War centenary.
As the pace of regeneration in east london continues
with immense energy, our commitment to putting
the voices of our community on our stage is more
important than ever before. During our Angelic Tales
New Writing Festival last year Crowning Glory was
so popular with our audiences that we decided to
work with the writer, Somalia Seaton, and develop it
for our main stage. our audiences informed our choice
of Love N Stuff too. Building on the huge success
of Wah! Wah! Girls in 2012’s cultural olympiad, we
brought back the same award-winning writer, Tanika
Gupta, and 2 of the central characters for a hilarious
new comedy that sold out in record time.
Theatre Royal Stratford east continues to strive to
place people at its core by creating work that reflects
the hopes, dreams and concerns of contemporary
life in Britain; and by offering an environment that
welcomes people from every background. Despite
these difficult economic times, we must be bold
and willing to take risks to achieve these goals.
We are immensely grateful to Arts Council England
and to the London Borough of Newham for their
unwavering support. Their recognition and funding
is vital to us.
Alongside our artistic and audience commitment,
we are also building our fundraising capabilities
and seeking to diversify our income streams to enable
us to extend our reach and further the impact of our
work. Those individuals, businesses, trusts and
foundations who currently support us make a real
difference and we thank you all.
Theatre Royal Stratford east is a very remarkable
organisation; unique in what it offers its audiences
and in its contribution to the theatre sector. Thank
you to the executive team, the staff and all those
who are a part of this and work so hard to deliver
the ambitious vision.
Much has changed in Stratford since 1953 when Joan
littlewood brought her Theatre Workshop to be based
at the theatre. While Theatre Royal Stratford east
remains committed to its founding principles, its heart
and vision is firmly driven by the communities of
today and the talents of tomorrow.
We hope you will want to tell Theatre Royal
Stratford east’s story, introduce us to new contacts
and friends, and contribute to us in these exciting
and challenging times.

PRICES LOW
We are committed to being as accessible as
possible for our audiences and need your
support to make this possible. Situated in
an area with widespread social deprivation,
it is important for us to be able to offer seats
for as low as £2.50 and to maintain a robust
concessions policy.
REACH NEW
AUDIENCES
We are proud to have an inverse audience
profile compared to other London theatres;
a high proportion of our audiences are
young, ethnically diverse and not wealthy.
Based in the borough which has the lowest
arts engagement in england, we need
your support so we can invest time and
resources to develop relationships with
our community.
ExTEND THE
CONVERSATION
We are committed to democratising the
debate in British Theatre. Audiences are at
the heart of our work and to achieve this
we need to be continuously in dialogue
with them. This can happen in many ways
including innovating with digital technology;
we need you to invest so that we continually
evolve how we do this in response to
audience needs.
US ACHIEVE OUR VISIONHOW YOUR SUPPORT CAN HELP
DEVELOP AWARD-
WINNING SHOWS
Since Joan Littlewood first set up Theatre
Workshop, we have been producing world-
class premieres of plays and musicals. our
productions reflect the dreams and aspirations
of our community and give them a voice on
the international stage. We need your support
to continue to take creative risks to develop
excellent new work that is entertaining,
thought-provoking and challenging.
SUPPORT
EMERGING ARTISTS
As an olivier Award winner with a long
tradition of work that has shaped the history
of British Theatre, we have much to offer new
talent struggling to find a way into the arts.
Your support can help us share our widely-
recognised skills for training and growing
talent for on and off stage with exceptional
artists who have historically been ignored.
WORK WITH
YOUNG PEOPLE
our work with young people is central to
our mission; we believe that theatre has the
power to transform their lives. We work with
over 3,000 young people each year from our
community, many of whom are from deprived
backgrounds. This important work plays a
crucial role in their personal, creative and
social development. We invite you to join us
in investing in the next generation of artists,
leaders, critical thinkers and audiences.

our public funding, we also generate income
from tickets sales and other retail.
We still need to raise at least
£300,000 each year.

individuals, trusts and companies who have
supported us to date and hope you may be

‘Dick Whittington is a gemstone of a
pantomime guaranteed to put a smile
on the faces of even the most hardened
seasonal cynic’
THE STAGE
‘caroline Parker… combining song and
signing as she does the warm up as Fairy of
the Bells is just one of the things that marks
this Theatre Royal panto as very special…
The Theatre Royal at Stratford east has done
it again… one leaves the theatre with a feeling
of sheer pleasure – and it felt as though
everyone in the theatre agreed.’
BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE
‘a raucous, rowdy,
inclusive panto’
GUARDIAN
‘What could be more festive than pea-green
aliens living on the Moon – which, it turns out,
really is made of cheese, and has a serious
rodent problem? True to form, Stratford east’s
panto this year doesn’t trouble itself overmuch
with tradition… gleefully, joyously bonkers…’
TIMES
‘There is nowhere better to see a pantomime
than Stratford east.’
WHATSONSTAGE
‘energetic performances; a fantastic colourful
set, the classic tale is presented with plenty
of local flavour.’

‘I’m in my fifties and have seen dozens
of pantomimes over the years and
this was easily the best. My 11-and

panto is quirky, pacy, very funny and
has lots of modern touches…’

TIMES
‘This is a remarkable revival of the First World

poignant and powerful, it offers captivating
nostalgic songs, folded into haunting scenes
from the frontline and trenches of war.’

‘The 50th anniversary of ‘Oh What a Lovely War’ provided us with a
unique opportunity to capture the ideas and energy of young people
from across england. We sent ‘Digital Gifts’ to schools, provoking
them into making their own theatre about what war means to them
now. We invited 17 groups to perform their work here, putting their
voices centre-stage, in the spirit of Joan litlewood.’
JAN SHARKEY-DODDS, HEAD OF YOUNG PEOPLE’S WORK
‘I have been explaining to anyone with a pair of
ears how marvellous it was to come to a theatre
where the young peoples’ presence and work
is not just an add-on, but integral to the work
you do. To have them valued so much was an
extraordinarily different experience from the
many other professional theatres I have taken
groups to.
SUSANNA BISHOP, IPSWICH HIGH SCHOOL,
EAST ANGLIA
‘We attended tonight’s
curtain Raiser to support
our grand-daughter…
Joan littlewood would
have been proud, both
of the participants and
you for undertaking
this initiative.’
MARTIN AND SUE PRICE
‘We felt really welcome at the Theatre Royal and
inspired by the surroundings. All the staff were
so friendly and supportive that it instantly put
our young people at ease… The whole project
was extremely well planned and executed, giving
students a unique insight into their set text,
‘oh What a lovely War!’ and opportunity to
create and perform on a professional stage.’
JESSICA GILL, ST MARY’S CATHOLIC
SCHOOL, BISHOP STORTFORD
‘can I just say a massive thank you to you
and all staff at Theatre Royal for being so
welcoming and fantastic with our students.
They haven’t stopped talking about it since
they got back and clearly had a wonderful time.’

‘… the workshop session Jan gave was excellent
and I really appreciated the way the rehearsals
were handled. Jan’s comments focussed so
well on the positive and it was really refreshing
for me, as a teacher, to see her recognising
the young people’s potential. We teachers are
constantly preoccupied with assessing the
students and Jan’s approach brought back to
me the true worth of being involved in drama
activities. I am sure the students felt that too.
I observed her encouraging and positive
attitude with everyone..’

Feedback for the Digital Gifts:
‘Thank-you so much for all the fab gifts
on ‘oh What a lovely War!’ We are feeling
totally inspired!’
‘I loved the gift idea, and the little gems
they contained. Beautifully produced and
very pertinent...’
‘The gifts have been useful to me, keeping
me on track and inspired.’
‘...a great introduction and stimulus for
them to work from.’
‘Have just read your email and to say that I am
delighted and excited is an understatement. We
are THRIlleD, thank you. I have told some of the
students who are in my tutor group and they are
so excited they’ve asked to go to other tutor groups
during registration to spread the news.’
