Welcome to what promises to be the most dynamic international line up yet for the 10th Anniversary of this outstanding Festival.
To celebrate this achievement, we’ve lined up some new, cutting edge performances. Some of your favourite artists from previous years are also returning with new material, so see them again or catch them for the first time.
This is a proud year for all of us at the festival office and our treasured volunteers, who work with us relentlessly throughout the year.
I’d like to thank our fantastic audiences for their continued support. They have enabled this highly respected and recognized event to grow year on year and evolve into the internationally renowned showcase it is today.
Whether you’re new to the Festival or one of our loyal followers, this year’s programme will be sure to excite and thrill.
We look forward to seeing you at the theatre.
