'The Dark, was our first live production since hawng to hall our live programming in March 2020. After
bNo postponements, dictated by Covid-19 restrictions, we finally entered into production in January
2022.
Based on Lemony Snickel's book 'The Dark,. we created a universal and empowering physical
performance about facing one's fears. The story follows a brave young boy on his joumey to meet the
darkness in his home's basement and watches as he eventually leams to befriend it.
Working wlh a diverse team of 20 a￿"S15 and professiona15, who forged the company's idiosyncratic
physical style, we merged slory-lelling. vibrant choreography. live music and singing into an ambitious
and truly captivating piece of hig￿qUality dance-theatfe. The show was really successfijl in
addressing one of children's most innate fears, Ihe dark.

PET'S free reserves * Ihe end of the year amounte(I 10 £29,365.
Golng ¢on¢•rn
The trustees recognise that the charity is facing an increasingly thallenging fvn¢Jing environment and
is dependent upon securing grant funding to support rts planned activities and to contribute to core
costs in the coming year. This dependence indicates the presence of a material uncertainty that casts
doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concem. The trustees are confident that the
charity's current funding bids and Confirmed income are sufficient lo meet ils liabilities as they fall due
and that il is the￿fore appropriate lo P￿pare the financial statements on a going concem basis.
Prlnclpal rlsks and unc8rtalntles
The principal risk for PET 1$ insLrfficient financial stability, Ithich hinders the charity's capability to
confidently build and pursue long-term plans. The company is primarily dependent on project funding
and box office income. and these revenue streams do not produce enough surplus to enable
long-term growth. Secunng core funding is a key priority for PET. We also Intend to further diversify
our funding portfolio In ordei lo ￿duce reliance on govemmenl supportlMOU21 .

Covid-19's impact on the theatre sector has been a major risk to the company's work and financial
stability. This has been and continues to be closely monitored, and trustees regularfy strategise wth
Executive Directors to best mf(igate risks. The company has worked hard to mitigate financial losses
through negotiation5 wlh partners on cancellatson fees. cautlOU5 planning for live work. extensive
fundraising wort and developing a mixed model of live & digital V•Y)rf( to be resilient in the face of
change.
PET has a small core team. This has been idenlffied as a risk due lo the dependence of the
organi5alional athvilie5 on minimal key 51aff. This nsk is included in the company Risk Register, and
mib'gated as much as possible by shared resources. a pool ol associate artists know the
companys work and can step in when needed. and reserves available to bring in additional.
short-lerm support.

risks lo which the organisalion may be exposed and ranks these by likelihood and impact, culminating

meetings throughout the year. The chariws adiviiies are largely project-based, and systems are in
place to ensure that the charity's exposure is kept more or less in line with secured project funding.
The Iruslees are sat15fied that systems have been developed and are in place lo mrti9ale identified
risks lo an acceptsble level.

Peut-Etre Theatre meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees recognise that the charity is facing an increasingly challenging funding environment and is dependent upon securing grant funding to support its planned activities and to contribute to core costs in the coming year.This dependence indicates the presence of a material uncertainty that casts doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.The trustees are confident that the charity's current funding bids and confirmed income are sufficient to meet its liabilities as they fall due and that it is therefore appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. 

The company was successful in its application to the second round of Culture Recovery Fund grants. A restricted grant of £43,336 was received in April 2021.
