King’s Head Theatre Online

For free, every weekday at 1pm for 30 minutes, the King’s Head Theatre is streaming a different window into the theatre accessible to everybody: our entire community, from artists to audiences to just Facebook followers, we can stay connected and we can develop together. On Monday, we catch up with Ryan Calais Cameron from Nouveau Riche, a multi-award-winning creative movement, who wasn’t able to join us a couple of weeks ago. They are the team behind the critically acclaimed Queens of Sheba, and Typical. On Tuesday, ex-Editorial Director of Oberon Books, George Spender, will discuss theatre publishing and how it works. George published hundreds of playwrights including Duncan Macmillan, Robert Icke, Lemn Sissay, Simon Stone, Laura Wade, Tanika Gupta, Scottee, Barney Norris and Alice Birch, and performance groups Action Hero, Rash Dash, Forest Fringe and Ontroerend Goed. He founded Salamander Street in 2019 while living in Edinburgh. Now based in Bristol, the company focuses on new writing and Theatre-in-Education work. On Wednesday, theatrical agent Alex Cory, a dramatists and creatives agent at Berlin Associates, one of the UK’s best-known boutique agencies for film, TV and theatre, will talk about what an agent is and how to get one.
