Happy #WorldTheatreDay! Here are a few joyous theatre moments from the past year…

Having been researching ‘restorative justice’ for my own work, it was exciting to see James Graham tackle it with such sensitivity and humour in ‘Punch’ at YV. Especially moving when the audience broke into spontaneous applause after one particular scene. Exciting to see theatre have such resonance

Could you be our new Artistic Director/CEO? Following the news that Clare Slater will step down this summer, we're pleased to announce that recruitment is now live. Applications close Friday 11 April. Full details: hightide.org.uk/about-high-t...

Clare has been a force of nature in the East and she will be sorely missed around here. I couldn't be more grateful to her for her support and friendship over the past few years. She and the whole @hightidetheatre.bsky.social team have been a dream to work with. The NT are lucky to have her!

So nice to get down to Future Female Society’s event for International Women’s Day yesterday at @suffolkarchives.bsky.social. A brilliant day of celebration and discussion

Such a treat to catch A Tryal of Witches at Theatre Royal BSE on Friday night. Brilliantly directed by @owencl.bsky.social and written by Tallulah Brown. It’s poetic, haunting and very timely

I’m researching a new play based on the experiences of Felixstowe dock workers. The project is supported by @suffolkcc & @easternangles. If you or someone you know would like to share a story, please do get in touch via my website karengoddard.net 👍
