Menagerie aims to create, support and inspire new writing in the East of England.
They work with artists at all levels from first-time writers to nationally recognised playwrights, designers, actors and producers. Over the past five years the company has focused on establishing a middle ground that can discover new work, feed other companies with playwrights and productions and operate as a regional resource for individuals and organisations.
They have developed a way of working that focuses on partnerships. The commitment and sustainability of their work is strong because writers, actors and producers are given the opportunity and time to develop together.
In the East of England, Menagerie acts as a conduit to support initiatives run by other agencies and organisations whilst creating their own independent and flexible focus for playwrights. This way of working supports their primary goals:
- to produce new plays;
- to discover new playwrights;
- to support new, emerging and established playwrights;
- to support all artists in the creation of new work.
The resulting work reflects the richness of intensive preparation, the depth of joint ownership and the spontaneous vitality of original theatre.
