DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The trustees are pleased to present their annual directors' report together with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31 March 2021 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors' report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).

Aims and Objectives

The charity's objectives are to advance the arts for the public benefit through high quality theatrical productions and participatory programmes which explore social issues to facilitate public discussion and nurturing creative voices from a wide range of backgrounds.

Public Benefit Statement

The charity trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties.

Achievements and Performance

Theatre Uncut creates bold, progressive, uncompromising political theatre. The company is untethered from traditional forms so it can examine what theatre is and what art can achieve. The company strives to attract audiences who want to be challenged and actively seek to engage in the world around them.

Created in 2011 in response to the cuts in public spending Theatre Uncut galvanises action, raises awareness and fuels debate by creating political new writing and making it available for everyone, everywhere.

Each year the company works with both the world’s leading writers and extraordinary new voices to create trailblazing work that examines the world we live in today and make this available for anyone to perform anywhere. So far we have commissioned over 57 playwrights from 14 countries to create responsive work which has been performed in 32 countries across 4 continents.

Theatre Uncut has produced work at the Young Vic, Traverse Theatre and the Southwark Playhouse and have toured across the UK. We have created work in collaboration with DOT Tiyatro in Istanbul, Turkey and Teater GROB in Copenhagen Denmark and performed on Theater Row in New York City supported by the Carol Tambor Foundation. The company has won two Fringe First Awards, the Herald Angel Award and the Spirit of the Fringe. After every performance we hold a post-show discussion, allowing the audience to add their own voices to the debate.

The Theatre Uncut Political Playwriting Award was created in partnership with the Young Vic England, Traverse Theatre Scotland, Sherman Theatre Wales and Lyric Theatre Northern Ireland, to discover the political playwrights of the future. Over 1,000 playwrights have submitted their work to the award to be read by our selection of over 50 expert freelance readers, then judged by our panel of leaders in British Theatre. The winner of the inaugural prize will be co-produced with the Royal Court Theatre.

Theatre Uncut was established by Hannah Price who was concerned about the effect the cuts in public spending were going to have on the most vulnerable in UK society. With the help of Mark Ravenhill and David Greig, she brought together 8 of the UK’s most dynamic playwrights to create short plays in response to the cuts: Clara Brennan, David Greig, Dennis Kelly, Lucy Kirkwood, Laura Lomas, Anders Lustgarten, Jack Thorne and Mark Ravenhill.

Over 90 groups across the world took these plays and made them their own, performing across the UK and abroad. The week after the event finished hundreds of Theatre Uncutters took part in demonstrations and marched on Whitehall in protest against the cuts.

Emma Callander joined Theatre Uncut as a participant in 2011, directing the original plays at the Bristol Old Vic and the Arches in Glasgow. In 2012 she joined the company as Co-Artistic Director and in 2021 became Artistic Director when Hannah left the company to lead the Kings Head Theatre in London with Mark Ravenhill.

April 2020 – April 2021 was an extraordinary year for Theatre Uncut. It held many Covid-19 related challenges financially and logistically, but it also brought a new focus on the potential of digital theatre to bring political new writing to a much larger global audience.

In March 2020 we launched Bubble by Kieran Hurley, a play about freedom of speech and the nature of debate online, written to be performed online, set on facebook, and performed by a selection of students from universities across Europe. As it premiered on facebook at the precise moment Boris Johnson was announcing the first lockdown measures the piece attracted a huge amount of press and media, with features in publications including the Guardian and the New York Times. The play attracted over 200,000 viewers online and created a new income stream when we started running workshops and lectures on the creation of digital theatre. We delivered workshops for a large number of universities, colleges and arts organisations across the UK, Europe and the USA including Royal Holloway and Princeton.

This exploration in digital theatre then led us to create a response in support of the Black Lives Matter Movement called Tools For Change, in co-production with the Traverse Theatre. These were digital reimaginings of three Theatre Uncut plays exploring ideas of race and identity written by writers from the global majority Niellah Arboine, Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan and Gbolahan Obisesan. They were made available to watch online free of charge and attracted over 75,000 audience. We have been overwhelmed by the response to our digital output.

DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Achievements and Performance

Both Bubble and Tools For Change are now available for students and staff in schools, colleges and universities to use as teaching tools and will form the basis of a new engagement offer that we are developing with support from the Arts Council England Creative Recovery Fund.

We were delighted to be able to run the second Theatre Uncut Political Playwriting Award with the support of the Arts Council England in 2020-21. The award employed over 50 freelancers during this challenging time and supported over 500 emerging political playwrights. We are delighted to be developing three of the shortlisted plays in 2022 and the winning play Chasing Hares by Sonali Bhattacharyya alongside the Bertha Foundation.

2021 also saw the very first full scale Theatre Uncut production, The Merthyr Stigmatist by Lisa Parry, one of the shortlisted plays from the inaugural Theatre Uncut Political Playwriting Award that we presented in co-production with the Sherman Theatre Cardiff. We were developing the production during 2020-2021 for a digital capture production in May 2021 that received an overwhelmingly positive response from both audiences and the press. The play explored the experience of a teenage girl from one of Wales’ most deprived communities and we were delighted to cast a young actress from Merthyr in her professional stage debut.

Due to effect of the Covid-19 situation we had to postpone our co-production of two Palestinians go dogging by Sami Ibrahim at the Royal Court. This has now been reprogrammed for June 2022. We also had to postpone the fundraising drive around the 10th anniversary of the company so we worked hard to secure co-production and philanthropic giving alongside receiving an Emergency Covid Response grant from the Arts Council England.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiners

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiners' report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Dear Sirs

During the course of your Independent Examination of our financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2021, the following representations were made to you:

  1. We acknowledge as directors/trustees our responsibilities under the Companies Act 2006 for preparing financial statements, in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework and International Financial Reporting Standards, that give a true and fair view and for making accurate representations to you as Independent Examiners.

  2. We confirm that all accounting records have been made available to you for the purposes of your Independent Examination, in accordance with your terms of engagement, and that all transactions undertaken by the charity have been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting records. All other records and related information, including minutes of all management, trustees’ and members meetings, have been made available to you. We have given you unrestricted access to persons within the charity in order to obtain Independent Examination evidence and have provided any additional information that you have requested for the purposes of your Independent Examination.

  3. We confirm that significant assumptions used by us in making accounting estimates, including those measured at fair value, are reasonable.

  4. We confirm that all known actual or possible litigation and claims whose effects should be considered when preparing the financial statements have been disclosed to the Independent Examiner and accounted for and disclosed in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework, International Financial Reporting Standards.

  5. We confirm that there have been no events since the balance sheet date which require disclosing or which would materially affect the amounts in the financial statements, other than those already disclosed or included in the financial statements.

  6. We confirm that there were no related party transactions for the year under review.

  7. We confirm that all related party relationships and transactions have been accounted for and disclosed in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework, International Financial Reporting Standards.

  8. We confirm that the charity has had, at no time during the year, any arrangement, transaction or agreement to provide credit facilities (including loans, quasi- loans or credit transactions) for directors/trustees, nor to guarantee nor provide security for such matters, except as already disclosed in the accounts.

  9. We confirm that the charity has not contracted for any capital expenditure other than as disclosed in the financial statements.

  10. We confirm that we are not aware of any possible or actual instance of non-compliance with those laws and regulations which provide a legal framework within which the charity conducts its business and which are central to the charity’s ability to conduct its business, except as explained to you and as disclosed in the financial statements.

  11. We acknowledge our responsibility for the design and implementation of controls to prevent and detect fraud. We confirm that we have disclosed to you the results of our risk assessment of the risk of fraud in the charity.

  12. We confirm that there have been no actual or suspected instances of fraud involving trustees, management or employees who have a significant role in internal control or that could have a material effect on the financial statements. We also confirm that we are not aware of any allegations of fraud by former trustees, employees, regulators or others.

  13. We confirm that, in our opinion, the charity is a going concern on the grounds that current and future sources of funding or support will be more than adequate for the charity’s needs. We believe that no further disclosures in respect of the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern need to be made in the financial statements. We also confirm the period that we have considered covers a minimum of 12 months from the date of this letter.

  14. We confirm that all grants, donations and other income, including those subject to special terms or conditions or received for restricted purposes, have been notified to you. There have been no breaches of terms or conditions during the period regarding the application of such income

.

  1. The effects of unadjusted misstatements are immaterial, both individually and in aggregate, to the financial statements as a whole.

  2. We confirm that we are not aware of any matters of material significance that should be reported to the Charity Commission.

  3. We acknowledge our legal responsibilities regarding disclosure of information to you as Independent Examination and confirm that:

  4. So far as each director is aware, there is no relevant Independent Examination information of which you as Independent Examiners are unaware; and

  5. Each director has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a director to make themselves aware of any relevant Independent Examination information and to establish that you are aware of that information.

We confirm that the above representations are made on the basis of enquires of management and staff with relevant knowledge and experience and, where appropriate, of inspection of supporting documentation sufficient to satisfy us that we can properly make each of the above representations to you.
