ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE
This report covers the period 30 March 2020 to 31 March 2021, but also addresses matters after the period to be

ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE (Continued
Outside periods of c105ure. 7.100 tickets were sold for live theatre performances Ènd 'one night, events. In addition
to the production5, certain artistic. educational. community and social events took place in the Rose Theatre,
limited by the imposition of government restrictions. We were also able to offer streamed performance5 and sold
over 1,100 tickets for famlly show5.
The guiding artistic policy of the Rose Theatre which will shape the resumption of normal operations is to continue
to develop as a successful producing theatre- a cultural hub for Kingston and wider SW London. It seeks to develop
a range of audience5 by imaginative programming of engaging drama and entertaining family shows. maintaining
high production values and seeklng to stimulate both anticipation and sat15fartion. The Rose's achievements have
resulted in the theatre being widely recognised amongst both audlences and the sector as a whole for the quality
of our work on stage. We attract leading ¢￿at￿e5 to work on our own production5 and we also work in close co-
operation with selected other theatres on co-productions that extend our repertoire and mitigate the inevitable
risk of new produrtions. The programme is also enriched with production5 of high artistic quality by acclaimed
visiting companies and one-night perform?nces.
During the perlod under review, because of Covid-19 restrictions it was not possible to present any of our own
productions.
The limited number of vlslting productions were:
EDUCATING RITA presented by David Pugh for Theatre by the Lake Produrtions
SH IT ACtUALLY presented by Shlt Theatre

In spite of the constraints our programme of artivity for the benefit of young people and others in the local
community known as Rose Participate continued, switchin8 to a combination of online and in-person, as permitted
by Covid-19 local restrictlOll5. We now have 1.35712020- 1.171} individuals Wlthin the community directly engaged
with the Rose and stage perfomance.
The relationship with RBK has been deepened and strengthened throughout the period of the present strategic
agreemerbt. In the face of the danger to the Rose created by governmenvs restrictions on theatre, RBK has been a
staunch and creative partner in anticipatinB and helping to mitigate challenges which confronted KTh. The
relationship with KU also continues wamily in spite of the difficulties which the university sector fcself has faced in
the period.
The current strategic partnership agreement wlth RBK expresses ambitious and practical interdependence in the
cultural space acros5 the borough- and in its impact, well beyond. KTt receives defined financial support in each of
the five years through to 2025. Officers of RBK and Krr maintain regular review of the performance of the

ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE (Continu&dl
In the settlng of its valued relationship wlth KU the Rose works across many faculties, helping to build employability
skills for graduate5 and serving ès a civic portal enabling the University to engago with a wider comrnunity. The
prospect of a broader strateglc partnership between KU and the Rose is being explored.
The agreements that the Rose has with each of its two stakeholder organisations enable activities for the benefit
of large numbers of people of all ages across the borough and the University. Governmenvs projected relaxatlon
of restrirtions on theatre5 will enable the richness of the interactions between the R05e, the borough and its adult
citizens and children- and the University and its student5, to be resumed in full measure.

aUdIen￿S filling its house once more.
Closure imposed on the Rose in response to Covid-19 has posed an existential challenge to securing its present and
its future. Executive and Board have worked assiduou51y to seize every opportunity to buttress the the3tre's
economy through periods of enforced hibernation. While box office income plummeted. and people who had
purchased tickets were consulted to determine their preferences wlth regard to monies advanced. radical cost
control measures were adopted, staff furloughed, and applications pursued for all relevant exceptional public
support. Appropriate control measures were introduced to safeguard the reSoUr￿S and assets of the trust through
the period of enforced inactivity- Novel, regularly updated plans have been crafted to give expression to safeguard
the theatre's strategic mission in the context of the changing circumstances.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Now well into the new period, the Executive and staffworked intensively ta re-open the theatre in June 2021. There
are risks from which no theatre in the land can be fully sheltered but the Rose ha5 done as much a5 It can to prepare-
to anticipate the risks. pr05pe¢ts and potential opportunities now in view.
The chariws focus is switching from organising for survival to organising to flourish. Re-opening the theatre will
not automatically replenish all aspects of its economic model. The re-building of audience confidence and
engagement will have to be worked for patiently. principally by means of the quality of the theatre's artistic
programme. Alongside Its work in the main house. the Rose is impatient to fire up the full range of civic, social and
learning cultural engagement within the borough- and deepen its relationship across all the relevant KU faculties
and departments.
The close monitoring of operational plans which has been maintained by key directors, the Finance Committee, and
the full Board throughout the period of restriction5, will be continued as the theatre resumes activity and embarks
on its recovery phase.
Measures available to the theatre to mitigate the consequences of the closure were relentlessly pursued.
Throughout. all practicable steps have been taken to Safeguard employmerlt, congruent with securingthe theatre'5
f￿ure. Appropriate benefit was taken from all relevant schemes including support for the furloughing of staff under
the CJRS, an award from the Arts Council England Emergency Response Fund, and the grants under CRF I, CRF 2
and CRF3. The special financial support from government recently rnediated by RBK provides a valuable

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The results for the period set out in the annexed statement of financial activitie5 show incoming resource5 have
decreased from £4,058.986 in 2020 to £1,847,429 in 2021.
Income from donations and legacie5 was significantly higher than last year due to the Impact of CRF grants from
Art5 Council England and Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. Donation5 were also received from the
public through the #R05eEndure5 fundraising campaign and the conversion of advance ticket sales to donations.
Grants underthe Local Restrictions Support Scheme and the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme were also recelved.
Box office income was only 8% of the amount generated last year due to the theatre being closed for all but three
weeks and programme catering and hires income is down proportlonately.
The learning and participation department moved their classes online for part of the year but total income was
down 40% due to lower uptake levels and the prohibition on live performances.
Total resour￿5 expended have decreased from £4,204.695 to £1,802,196.
Support costs have decreased by 30% with the most slgnlflcant reduction being in marketing and box office costs
during the months of enforced closure.

October 2020 the Government announced new National Restrictions from 5, November 2020 which imposed a
further period of enforced closure until 3 December 2020. Cancelled performances were rescheduled to later

GOING CONCERN
Determination of the theatre's 'going concern. status is subjert to annual and careful review by the Board. In
normal year. the registered charity uses Its resources to further its charitable artistic, educational and community
purposes. The period reported on, however, is widely considered to be unprecedented in tems of the adverse
efferts of COVID-19 not only for the theatre *rtor, but the country at large: and the wider world. It has Tlot been
generally possible to further the theatre's primary purposes in this period. The guiding policy has been to batten
down the hatches. run out the storm, Seize whatever Small windows of opportunity occur. and be ready to take
advantage of conditions under which the theatre may open. The challenge5 have been exceptional. In addressing
the routine question the trustees have taken account of the Trusvs resources and in particular the various forms of
special support that have been made available to get US through.

GOING CONCERN Icontlnuedl
Distllled, the questlon the trustee5 have addressed is whether the agility of operational planning, the robustness of
organisational effectiveness. and keenness of cost saving measures together with known and reasonably
anticipated sources of funding provide sufficient financial reslllence to weatherthe waves of uncertainty occasioned
by the special circumstances attributable to COVID-19.
The economic model of the Rose norrnally balances the costs of its operations by income from box office,
development fund raising including grants from trusts and foundations, and agreed funding from Its two founding
Stakeholders.
In a period of enfOr￿d redurtion in activity, costs were reduced to the greatest extent practicable whlle malntalnSng
organisational capability to start up when permltted. Despite these measures the majorly reduced box office and
development fund raising income plus continuing Stakeholder funding may not on their own have been sufficient
to reassure the Board. However, the success of the Executive in securing exceptional additional 5UPPOrt by means
of measures enabled by government and Arts Council England and
in the post balance sheet period the
exceptional grant received through the Royal 8orough of Kingston have sustalned the theatre's economy in positnie
balance.
Adoption of appropriate governmental furlough support, the Culture Recovery Fund I grant of £380k. the CRF 2
grant of £190k, the CRF 3 grant of £278K and the Strategic Infrastructure Partners grant through RBKof £300k have
together delivered enhanced resilience into 2021122. The Trustees are confident that despite the background
uncertainty affecting the sector as a whole and wider society, the organisation is resourced sufficiently for the
period ahead to justify 'going concern. status as appropriate for the preparation of the accounts. A number of
perspectives informing thi5 judgement follow.
The current strategic agreement between RBK and the theatre runs to March 2025. It expresses a vital creative
partnership. The theatre. in its mission as a cultural hub, will continue to engage in a wide range of social.
community, support and learning measures directed to increased well-being and enhanced cultural participation
directed to the benefit of citizen5 across the borough. The borough continues to provide defined levels of financial
support to KTt in each of the five year5 of the agreement, contributing to the resilience and economic sustainability
of the Rose theatre. The scope of activity envisaged by the agreement is the focus of regular interaction and review
by officers of both RBK and the theatre. It reflects with confidence the challenges and opportunities facing both
organisations. Thi5 long-term agreement represents a pillar of Stakeholder support, which contributes an ongoing
anchor to the theatre's economic model.
The charity also maintains a close relationship with KU. its other foundlng stakeholder and the service 3greement
signed in January 2012 continues under a rolling proces5 to provide significant financial support from KU to the
Rose theatre each year. The Vice-chancellor confimis In wrltlng this rolling arfangement.

GOING CONCERN {Contlnued.)
In view of the impact on operations of COVID-19 the Executive has adopted, and the Board approved a set of
management measures designed to mitigate the adverse economic effect of the shut-down. Benefits available to
the settor have been applied for and secured. The Executive's operational planning is continuously updated.
Relevant asperts have been kept under review by key dirertors. the Finance Committee, and the Development
Committee, to provide the full Board with enhanced scrutiny and informed insight on the detail of the theatre's
operatSons. Plans have been re-strurtured regularly on appropriate assumptions about the closure and re-opening.
The trustees have reviewed the financial condltion of the theatre, wlth particular attention on the assumptions
underpinning the revised plans through financial year 2021/22 and into the following one. Planning includes
projections of the effects of re-opening of the theatre based on estimates of future income streams.. box offlce.
stakeholder support, donations. grants and known public support measures. Less positive scenarios have been
considered and a balance of judgement struck as to the likelihood of outcomes and the theatre's resilience to come
through the period of ¢105ure and the re-building of actlvity in the aftermath.
Overall, and outside the COVID-19 impact, the single most important component of the theatre's financial model
is provided by box office income, which puts the quality of its art15tic programme at the heart of the theatre'5 long-
term sustainability. The theatre looks forward with enthusiastic confidence to the artistic programmlng of Artistic
Director, Christopher Haydon, to be given effert in his first season, which was delayed by the period of closure.
Other sources of fund5 under the theatre's control include Development. supported by its Committee which 15
tasked with monitoring and enhancing fundraisin8 activities. The economic model also includes appropriate
Commercial opportunitie5 that increase income from food and drink sales, hires and merchandise sales. Planned
investment to increase the contribution from in-house Commercial activity has been delayed by the closure. but
one of the theatre's outstanding philanthropic 5UPPOrters has enabled professional scoping of the projett to be
advanced.
The trustees acknowledge that all theatre has been gravely threatened by the impact of closure occasioned by
government's response to the pandemic. The resumption of un-distanced gatherlng of performers and audiences
in theatres and concert h311s has begun, and continuation will create the attual context for recovery- for which the
theatre's planning is well- advanced.
There remain risks and uncertainties across the whole of the performlng arts.. exceptional conditions entailed by an
unprecedented set of uncertalntie5. Within the sector, the Rose is well-managed and continues to make sound
strategic and tactical decision5 that respond to and antlcipate the uncertainties and challenges of the moment. The
trustees have considered the appropriateness of the theatre's strategy and planning. and the assumption5 on which
they are based. They have confidence in the quality of planning, the appropriateness of assumptions and the
assessment of risks made by the Executive. They have taken full account of special forms of support applied for and
made available because of the Covid-19 trisis, the support of the two principal stakeholders, ènd the income
projections from other known and prospective sources. They consider that while material uncertainty exist5, which
may cause some doubt in respect of going concern, their balance of judgement Is that the going concern basi5 IS
appropriate for the preparation of the financial statement5.

Auditorfs respon51bilitles forthe audlt of the financlal statements
We have been appointed as auditor under the Companies Act 2￿6 and section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in
accordance wlth those Ac
Our oblectives a￿ to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but Is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordan￿ with ISAS IUKI will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Mlsstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consldered material if, individually
or in the aggregate. they could reasonab￿ be expected to influence the economlcdecisions of users taken on the basis ofthese
financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 15 k)cated on the Flnancial Reporting
Council's website at.. www.frc.org.uklauditorsresp0ft5ibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Irregularitie5, including fvaud, are instances of non-compliance with law5 and regulation5. We design procedures in line with

dueto fraud,throu8h designing and implementing appropriate responses tothose assessed risks. and to respond appropriately
to instances of fraud or susperted fraud identified duringthe audit. However, the primary re5ponsibilityfor the preverhtion and
detection of fraud rÈsts with both management and those charged with Boveman￿ of the chaiitable company and group.
Our approach was as follows-
The enBa8ement partner Selected staff for the audit who it was deemed had sufficient experience and who had the
required competence and skills to be able to identify or recogrhi5e non-compliance with laws and re8uiatlons.
We assessed the risk o* irregularities as part of our audit planning. and ongoing review. including those due to frabjd.
management override was Idèntified as a signSficant fraud risk. This is due to the ability to bypass controls through
inappropriate expenditure and accounting policies adopted.
Some intome received 15 restritted in Its use and a slgnificant risk was identified re8arding the correct Cla￿lfICation of
income between restricted and unrestricted funds and that the expenditure against this income was in line with any

We assessed the control environment, documenting the systerns, controls and processes adgpted. The 3udit approach
incorporated a combination of controls where appropriate, analytical review ènd 5ub5tantive procedure5 involving tests
of tran5artions and balances. Any irregularities noted were discv55ed with management and additional corroboratlve
evidènce was obtained as required.
We obtalned an understsnding and assessed the impact of Covid-19 on the operatlons of the tharitable company and
group and adapted our audit approach accordingty. We enquired and obtained evidence to 5UPPOrt the going conorn
a55umption and reviewed 5UPPOrt received through the Coronavirus support schetnes, dovetailed with work undertaken
on managerllent overrlde.
The consolidated financial statement5 of the group incorporate the re5uIt5 of the subsidlary entity, which is exempt from
altdit. A review has been completeil at group lÈvel on areas that are Significant to the consolidated financial statements.
To address the risk of fraud through management override we:
performed anèlyttcal procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationship5,'
tested Journal entries to identify any unusual transactions,.
assessed whether judgements and as5umptlon5 made in determining the accounting estlmates were indicative L)f
potential bias,.
reviewed the disclosure5 Wlthin the financial staternents to ensure they meet the requirements of the accounting
standard5 an(1 relevant legrslation.
In response to the classificatlon of income bètween restrtcted and unrestricted we..
ag￿Ed a sample of income recorded in the nominal ledger to Sour￿ documentation to ensLrre any rÈstrictions were
corrertly identified.
agreed a sample of expenses In¢urred to ensure that they had been illocated to the approprlate fund; and
obtained and revlewed fund analysls worklngs to ensure that the calculatlons were correct and agreed to the
accounting records,
There are inherent Ilmitatlon5 in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that law5 and regulations are from
financlal transattions, the less likely ￿ is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Audltlng standards also limit the
audlt procedures required to identify non*cornpliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the dirertors and other
management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspond¢nce, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve
deliberate concealment or collusion.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL sfATEMENTS
for the period ended 31 March 2Q21
Summary of accounting policies
The principal accountlng policies which are adopted in the preparation of the financial ststements are set out
below.
Company status
The company is a company listed by guarantee and has no share capitsl. The company was incorporated on l Mav
1990 in England and was registered with the Charity Commission 29 August 1990. The members of the company
are the Trustees named on page 3. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the
guarantee 15 limited to £1 per member of the company. The address of the registered Offi￿ is given on page 4 of
these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are explained in the
Trustees Report.
The charity constitute5 a public benefit as defined by FRSIO2.
bl
Basis of a¢￿UntIng
The financlal statements have been prepared in accordance with the charltable companWs Articles of Association,
Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing thelr
accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS 1021 (Second edition) and
the Companie5 Act 2006.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling which Is the funrtional currency and have been rounded to the
nearest pound.
The financial statements have been prepared underthe hlstorical cost convention. The principal accounting policies
are outlined below.
Golng concem
The charitable company rnade a surplus of £45.233 forthe period ended 31 March 2021, and at that date
the company reported net current liabilities of £445,615. The charitable cotnpany have prepared a
forecast for at least a period of twelve months of which they have sufficient funding forthe majority and
are reliant on projected funding as exp13ined in more detail below. Therefore. determination of the
theatre's 'going concern. status is subject to annual and careful review by the Board. In a normal year. the
registered charwty use5 its resources to further it5 charitable artistic, educational and community purposes. The
period reported on, however, 15 widely considered to be unprecedented in terms of the adverse effects of COVID-
19 not only for the theatre sector, but the country at large: and the wider world. It has not been generally possible
to further the theatre's primary purposes in this period. The guiding policy ha5 been to batten down the hatches,
run out the storm, seize whatever srnall windows of OPPDrtunity occur. and be ready to take advantage of

routine question the trustees have taken account of the Trust's resources and in particular the various forms of
special 5UPPOrt that have been made avallable to get us throu8h.
Distilled, the question the trustees have addressed Is whether the agility of operational plannin& the robustness of
organisational effectivene55, and keenness of cost saving measures together with known and reasonably
anticipated sourcesof fvnding provide sufficient financial resilience to weather the wave5 of uncertainty occasioned
by the special circumstances attributable to COVID-19.

The economic model of the Rose normally balances the costs of its operations by income from box offi￿,
development fund raising including grants from trusts and foundations, and agreed funding from its two founding
stakeholders.
In a period of enforced reduction in attivityi Costs were reduced to the greatest extent practicable while maintaining
organisational capability to start up when permitted. Despite these measures the majorly reduced box Offi￿ and
development fund raising Income plus continuing stakeholder funding may not on their own have been sufficient
to reassure the 8oard. However. the Suc￿sS of the Executive in securing eX￿ptIOnal additlonal support by means
of measures enabled by government and Arts Council England and
in the post balance sheet period - the
exceptional grant received through the Royal Borough of Kingston have sustslned the theatre's ecollomy in positive
balance.
Adoption of appropriate governmental furlough 5UPPOrt. the Culture RecDvery Fund i grant of £380k, the CRF 2
grant of £190k. the CRF 3 grant of £278K and the speaal grant through RBK of £300k have together delivered
enhanced resilience into 2021122. The Trustees are confident that despite the background uncertainty affecting
the sector as a whole and wider society, the organisation is resourced sufficiently for the perlod ahead to justify
'going con￿r￿. status as appropriate for the preparation of the accounts. A number of perspectives informing thls
judgement follow.
The current strategic agreement between RBK and the theatre runs tD March 2025. It expresses a vital crÈative
partnership. The theatre, in its mi55ion 35 a cultural hub, will continue to engage in a wide range of Social.
community, support and learning measures d1￿Cted to increased well-being and enhanced cultural participation
directed to the benefit of citizen5 across the borough. The borough continues to provide defined leve15 of financial
SUPPOrt to in each of the five years of the agreÈment, contributing to the resilience and economic sustainabilitv
of the Rose theatre. The Scope of activity envisaged by the agreement IS the focus of regular interaction and review
by officers of both RBK and the theatre. It reflerts with confidence the challenges and opportunities facing both
organisations. This long-term agreement represents a pillar of stakeholder support, which contributes an ongoing
anchor to the theatre's economic model.
The charity also maintains a close relationship with Kingston UnNer5ity, it5 Other founding stakeholder and the
service agreement signed in January 2012 continues under a rolling protsss to provide significant financial support
from KU to the Rose theatre each year. The Vice-Ch3ncellor confirms in writing thi5 rolling arrangement

taking account of the share of payments already made in relation to matters that had to be deferred. Alongside
RBK, KU remain5 a pillar on which the resilience of the theatre's economic model was founded. The relationship is
expressed in many dimensions of creative activity beyond the provislon of practical seNice5 by the theatre.
In view of the impart on operations of COVlD-19 the Executive has adopted, and the Board approved a set of
management measures designed to Mltigate the adverse economic effect of the shut-down. Benefits available to
the sector have been applied for and secured. The Executive'5 operational planning is continuously updated.
Relevant aspects have been kept under review by key dirertors, the Flnance Committee, and the Development
Committee, to prDvide the full Board wlth enhanced scrutiny and informed insight on the detail of the theatre's
operations. Plans have been re-struttured regularly on appropriate assumptions about the closure and re-opening.

The trustees have reviewed the flnancial condition of the theatre. with particular attention on the assumptions
underpinning the revised plans through financial year 2021122 and into the following one. Planning indudes
projections of the effects of re-opening of the theatre based on estimates of future income streams.. box office,
stakeholder support, donations, grants and known public support measures. Less positive scenarios have been
ortsidered and a balance of judgement struck as to the Ilkellhood of outcome5 and the theatre's resilience to come
through the perlod of closure and the re-building of attivity in the aftermath.
Overall, and outslde the COVID-19 impact, the single most important component of the theatre's financial rnodel
is provided by box office income, which puts the quality of its art15tic programme at the heart of the theatre's long-
term sustainability. The theatre looks forward with enthusiastic confider)ce to the artistic programming of Artistic
Director, Christopher Haydon. to be given effect in his first sea50n. which was delayed by the period of closure.
Other sources of funds under the theatre's control Include Development, supported by its Committee which is
tasked with monitoring and enhancing fundraising activities. The economic model also includes appropriate
Commercial opportunities that increase Income from food and drink sales. hires and merchandise sales. Planned
investment to increase the contribution from in-house Commercial activity has been delayed by the closure, bLrt
one of the theatre's outstanding philanthropic supporters has enabled professional scoping of the projett to be
advan￿d.
The trustees acknowledge that all theatre has been gravely threatened by the impact of closure occasioned bv
government's response to the pandemic. The resumption of un-distanced gathering of performers and audiences
in theatres and concert halls has begun. and continuation wlll create the actual context for recovery= for which the
theatre's planning Is well- advanced.
There remain risks and uncertainties across the whole of the performing arts- exceptional conditions entailed by an
unprecedented set of uncertainties. Within the sector, the Rose is well-managed and continues to make sound
strategic and tattical decisions that respond to and antlclpate the uncertainties and challenges of the moment. The
trustees have considered the appropriateness of the theatre's Strategy and plannin& and the assumptions on which
they are based. They have confidence in the quality of planning, the appropriateness of assumptions and the
assessment of risks made by the Executive. They have taken full account of special forms of support applied for and
made available because of the Covid-19 crisis, the support of the two principal stakeholders, and the income
projections from other known and prospectlve sources. They consider that while material uncertainty exists, which
may cause some doubt in respect of going concern, their balance of judgement Is that the going concern basis Is
appropriate for the preparation of the financial statements.
Trustees are confident that the theatre will be equipped to operate and re-build its many activities. achieving
progressively a sustainable balance between combined income streams andthe overall costs of planned operations.
The trustees, however, remain aware that in spite of the success of the vaccination programme to date and the
confidence it has spawned, aspects of the pandemic. including new variants and government measures in response,
could delay full hearted recovery. They consider that the effectiveness of the vaccination programme represents
the only means by which theatre. along with the rest of society and the economy. learns to live with COVID-19 as
an endemic condition. Theatre cannot be protected uniquely: but nor is It uniquely threatened
