Gate Theatre

The Gate Theatre has been inspiring audiences and artists alike since 1979. We welcome anyone who wants to change the world.

The Gate Theatre is a theatre in London, Camden. In July 2022, it announced a new residence at 26 Crowndale, Camden, London, NW1 1TT, following an extensive search for a more accessible home. The new premises offers a wheelchair accessible and step-free performance space with 120 seats, as well as an in-house bar and foyer space.

What happens when a group of brilliant Filipino and East and Southeast Asian theatre-makers come together to explore a new play?

Assistant director Grace shares her reflections on the R&D process behind In the Remains by Jose Socrates Reyes, winner of the 2025 Woven Voices Prize. From unpacking the story's emotional core to playing Filipino childhood games in the rehearsal room, this is a behind-the-scenes look at a week spent developing a powerful new play about the 2017 siege of Marawi.

In May, we were joined by Lyndsey Turner for 'a director's toolkit' workshop on working with actors.

Together, we explored the realities of the rehearsal room, attendees shared stories from their own practice, and we unpacked the decisions directors make that can shape a production for better or worse. From casting to conflict management, it was a brilliant opportunity to reflect, learn and swap experiences with fellow theatre-makers.

A special thank you to Lyndsey for such an open and insightful session, and to all who attended

Happy Earth Day! The perfect day to throwback to Scenes From A Climate Era by David Finnigan, directed by Atri Banerjee 🌎

Stage one: denial.
Stage two: optimism. Solutions.
Stage three: grief. Anger. Despair.

Go through the stages, and then make a decision.
