On Sunday 13th July, we’ll be celebrating 12 years as a publication. Starting Theatre Full Stop in 2013, I was personally inspired to explore our contemporary, new writing landscape, especially post my East 15 training where we were guided to create new work reflective of the world around us, exploring socio-political issues seldom explored. As a publication, we’re intrigued by the stories that shape where we are now and how best to move forward from lessons learned.
What I couldn’t have imagined is the new path we’ve found ourselves on, especially post Covid whereby mental health became a priority and a topic I’m sure will become integral in our post Covid era. We’re 2 years into our well-being strand, an initiative started on our 10th birthday back in 2023 to help support with what currently is a very precarious time.
As we approach 2 years this July of our commitment to integrating and exploring what it means to look after our wellbeing, we just want to say thank you to everyone who has supported the journey so far! Thank you to Megan Mattravers who has been at the forefront of guiding us all on what it means to observe the present moment in our fast paced world and to Francesca Mepham who has been vital in helping spread the word with her vital PR campaigns and belief in what we’re looking to achieve!
