“The word ‘Festival’ in our name invites you to expect more than just a theatre. That is why we are always coming up with new events, new performance spaces, and new ways of engaging with you. This year we have some really special treats up our sleeve. So, no matter which of our world-class shows you are coming to see, be sure to give yourself plenty of time before and after: you’ll be glad you did.”
— Tim Carroll, Artistic Director
