DAVID HARE: PROTECTING THE PLAYING SPACE

Join the multi-award winning playwright Sir David Hare in conversation with SCRUM's Artistic Director Lucie Dawkins, as they discuss the state of play for theatre making in the UK, and dream of the conditions needed to make sure creatives thrive in the face of an arts crisis. From the Portable Theatre Company to Joint Stock, and from the Royal Court to the National Theatre, Sir David Hare has spent nearly six decades reinventing and reimagining the ways in which theatre can be made. 

David Hare was described by the Washington Post as “the premiere political dramatist writing in English.” In 1997 the French government honoured him as an Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres, and in 1998 the British knighted him for services to the theatre. In a millennial poll of the greatest plays of the 20th century, five of the top 100 were his.

WHICH TICKET TIER SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Offering affordable training is at the heart of SCRUM’s charitable objectives, which is why we have different ticket price tiers. We encourage you to pay what you can based on the below descriptors:

• £12 - Subsidised ticket price - You have limited expendable income** and need to opt for the lowest cost option. If this cost is still a barrier, please contact SCRUM on [javascript protected email address]
• £15 - Subsidised ticket price - You have some expendable income and can meet basic needs, even if there may be occasional financial stress
• £20 - Full ticket price - You have a comfortable amount of expendable income, do not face financial barriers and are able to cover the full cost of the event ticket. 

*BASIC NEEDS include food, housing, clothing and transportation.

**EXPENDABLE INCOME might mean you are able to buy coffee or tea at a shop, go to the cinema or a concert, buy new clothes, books and similar items each month, etc.
