The following Directors and Trustees served during the year: R. Nicholson J. Orr L. Yates ## **Accountants** I Hate Numbers Limited Forester Building 29-35 St Nicholas Place Leicester LE1 4LD ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** The objects of the CIO are to promote, maintain, improve and advance public education, particularly by the production and promotion of educational plays and drama and the encouragement of the arts, culture, heritage and science and other fine arts especially those activities which seek to make the arts relevant to the public including the arts of drama, comedy, performing arts, mime, dramatic improvisation, ballet, music, singing, literature, dance, sculpture and painting and to formulate prepare and establish schemes therefor. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** Page 2 **Silent Uproar Trustees Annual Report** ## **Charitable activities** The principal activity of the charity during the year was focused on promoting, maintaining, improving and advancing public education, particularly by the production and promotion of educational plays and drama. This activity was done through our artist development programme and producing the work of those artists. ## **Creating & Touring New Work** Creating and touring work by daring artists (often described as "risky") about topics that you would not traditionally find at the theatre (often described as socially conscious) has been part of Silent Uproar's award-winning formula for creating work. This has predominantly attracted a younger and more alternative arts crowd, usually from low-cultural engagement areas across the North of England. We have a particular focus to create work for LGBTQIA+ audiences and communities, which is now our target audience. ## **ARTISTIC PROGRAMME 2023-2024** ## **Organisational Development** We have enhanced the company's internal management systems, and thanks to core funding from Hull City Council, Garfield Weston, and the John Ellerman Foundation, we have improved the upscaling of our work. This has increased the level of support we can offer artists, enhanced internal skills, improved financial operations, and expanded the staff team by adding a company producer and Audience Development Associate to our core team. ## **Commissions and Development:** Becktacular Becktacular by Olivia Hirst with Matthew Floyd Jones. As part of our writer support research and development programme, we helped Olivia Hirst and Matthew Floyd Jones develop a hilarious new musical about the last time the justice system was reformed with the creation of the Court of Appeal. The story focuses on the farcical, bizarre, and tragic true story of Adolf Beck. The project is part of our ambition to support mid-career artists to develop shows that truly excites them. We are now looking to move this to full production for 2026/2027. ## **Productions:** As part of our Touring strategy, we tour pubs, bars, gig venues, and community centres as well as traditional venues. This strategy allows us to achieve a series of sold-out performances, with the majority of attendees under the age of 30. Overall, it was a great success, both artistically and strategically. 1) The Night of The Werewolves Live! by Olivia Hirst. We commissioned Olivia Hirst to write our Small Shows Community Touring show for late winter 2023. The show made a return for 2024. The show ran for 15 performances across the year, which also featured a small tour across East Yorkshire. Featuring one performer, two technical creatives, and a wider creative team of three. The team included traditional theatre artists, Hull-based visual artist Ian Hinley and internationally acclaimed metal musician Eddi Pickard (Infant Annihilator) for sound design. Due to this work the show was upscaled, commission and expanded for Freedom Festival in 2025. ## **Touring Impact:** - Audience Reach: 259 - Young Audience (16–30): 55% of attendees - Repeat Attendance: 100% (would attend another Silent Uproar show) - Relevance to Young People: 75% felt the production was relevant to younger, non-traditional audiences Page 3 **Silent Uproar Trustees Annual Report** Additionally, it was supported by a creative team of 13. In total, Silent Uproar raised £137,000 to bring Dead Girls Rising to life, and we were excited to stage the production, which was our main activity for 2024/2025. The show received a large amount of press and critical acclaim, which helped continue to establish Silent Uproar as champions of bold and challenging new work. 2) Dead Girls Rising by Maureen Lennon and Anya Pearson. This punk-gig theatre piece, exploring the horrors of patriarchy and the allure of revenge, was our first mid-scale production developed through our Making Trouble writer support & research and development programmes. The project successfully secured £74,000 in funding from Arts Council England to support the full production and a national tour with over 20 performances. The production was performed by a cast of 6 and toured by a technical team of 3. ## **Touring Impact** - Audience Reach: 1,150 - Artists Involved: 33 - Young Audience (16–30): 32.4% - First-Time/Rare Theatre-Goers: 22.3% (rising to 37.6% at non-traditional venues such as The Welly Nightclub) - Repeat Attendance: Target 80% | Achieved 94.8% (would attend another Silent Uproar show) - Relevance to Young People: 88.25% agreed the production was relevant to a younger, less traditional audience. ## **Highlights** These results underscore the production’s relevance and quality, strengthening Silent Uproar’s profile and ensuring future funding, partnerships, and audience development. _Dead Girls Rising_ achieved a significant milestone in engaging younger demographics and spotlighting new talent on national stages. Our alternative touring model and youth-focused content resulted in 32.4% under-30 audience engagement, exceeding the national average of 25%. ## **Future Productions:** **Shit Life Crisis** by Olivia Hannah. Originally staged as part of our last season of **Out Loud** (which was our showcasing programming in partnership with Middle Child Theatre), Shit Life Crisis was awarded £30,000 from Arts Council England to be staged as a full production and a three-week tour, featuring two performers and a wide creative team of critically acclaimed creatives. Shit Life Crisis was a strategic move towards refocusing our work to be able to produce more live work. ## **ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS** ## **Press Selection from our 2024/2025 Programme:** **Five Stars** : “Silent Uproar promises ‘glitter-filled political nights out for a younger crowd,’ and they certainly deliver all that, and more.” The Scotsman **Five Stars** : “A highly memorable and hard-hitting show that deserves to be seen.” North West End review **Five Stars** : “An all-too-necessary call to arms for their youthful audience.” The Herald **Five Stars** : “Relatable to a younger, feisty audience—just the sort of people theatre should appeal to.” Musical Theatre Review **Five Stars** : “Emotional roller-coaster of punk gig theatre [Silent Uproar] uses musical theatre to entertain and raise important contemporary issues.” All Edinburgh Theatre review ## **Audience Feedback from 2024/2025:** Page 4 **Silent Uproar Trustees Annual Report** - “Every Silent Uproar production I’ve been to is so clever, relatable, and full of surprises. I will continue to recommend Silent Uproar to friends and colleagues and can’t wait to see what’s next.” - "I would rush to see anything from Silent Uproar again!" - "It's one of the best pieces of theatre I have watched this year." - "It was one of the best pieces of theatre I have ever seen." - "I wish I could've seen it again." - "It was an excellent show that I think all secondary age students should see." ## **STRATEGIC OUTCOME REVIEW FOR 2024-2025** ## **Governance** Trustees have actively monitored financial risk, touring viability, and audience engagement throughout the year, particularly in response to sector-wide challenges. Regular board review ensured activities remained aligned with the charity’s objects and financial sustainability. ## **Outcome 1: Engaging More Young People in Theatre** Over the past year, we directly engaged **1,409 live audience members** through our touring productions and **30,000 additional audience members** indirectly through productions we have supported and seed-commissioned—primarily _Kathy & Stella Solve A Murder!_ in the West End. While our initial figure of **1,409** is lower than our projected target, we remain optimistic about increasing engagement. **2024 was an exceptionally challenging year for the arts sector, particularly in the North of England** . However, with renewed strategies and strengthened partnerships, we are confident in our ability to expand our reach and meet our goals. ## **Youth Empowerment through ‘The Collective’** Our Under-25 Youth Committee, in collaboration with Silent Uproar and professional artists, developed and programmed the small-scale production _The Night of the Werewolves Live_ . The project was a resounding success, selling out nine performances and receiving overwhelmingly positive audience feedback—100% of attendees said they would return to a Silent Uproar show. This initiative placed young people at the heart of the creative process, reinforcing our commitment to community led theatre. Towards the end of 2025, with consultation with The Collective, we are pivoting this group to focus more on LGBTQIA+ Community members. ## **Workshops and Industry Exposure** In 2024-2025 we delivered five “Intro to Playwriting” workshops in Hull, Edinburgh, Doncaster, and Pocklington, mentoring 24 emerging writers under 30. These sessions provided vital support for new talent, offering hands-on experience and professional guidance in playwriting. ## **Collaborative Pipeline with The Warren** Through our partnership with **The Warren** , we expanded opportunities for young creatives to participate in writing and performance programmes, feeding into future productions. As part of this initiative: - Young musicians and band members under 25 performed paid curtain-raiser gigs before our mid-scale touring show, Dead Girls Rising—for some, this was their first-ever paid performance. - Young people played an active role in the creative development, consultation, rehearsal process, programming, and marketing of Dead Girls Rising, The Night of the Werewolves Live!, and our upcoming production, Shit Life Crisis. - We launched a free theatre ticket initiative, providing over 50 young people with the opportunity to attend live theatre at no ticket cost throughout the year. ## **Accessible Theatre Experiences** Page 5 **Silent Uproar Trustees Annual Report** Our commitment to reaching new audiences was reflected in our choice of non-traditional venues, such as The Welly Nightclub. Notably, 37% of attendees at these performances were first-time theatre-goers, demonstrating our success in making theatre more inclusive, engaging, and accessible to diverse communities. ## **Outcome 2: Improving Inclusivity, Representation, and Playwriting Culture** This year, we took bold steps to support Northern artists, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds. We provided tailored support to five writers and 52 additional creatives, investing over £149,000 in commissions, productions, research and development projects, and workshops. While we did not reach our internal target of nine writers, this reflected a strategic decision to focus more intensely on a smaller group, enabling us to invest more deeply in their growth and amplify the development and impact of their work. Notably, 70% of the creatives supported throughout the year came from underrepresented backgrounds, demonstrating our commitment to inclusivity and aligning with our core values. ## **National Platforms and Partnerships** A major highlight of the year was the success of _Kathy & Stella Solve a Murder!_ , a production seed-commissioned by Silent Uproar, which made a highly successful transfer to the West End. Featuring a cast of eight actors and four musicians, the show ran at the Ambassadors Theatre in London from May 25 to September 14, 2024—a 16-week engagement that reached over 30,000 audience members. ## **Expanding National Partnerships** This year, we have strengthened existing relationships and forged new collaborations with leading theatres across the UK, amplifying the voices of traditionally underrepresented artists and bringing their work to national stages. ## We partnered with: **Major Theatres & Institutions:** The National Theatre, Sheffield Theatres, Hull Truck Theatre, Northern Stage (Newcastle), The Traverse Theatre (Edinburgh), The Tron Theatre (Glasgow), The Dukes Theatre (Lancaster). **Regional & Community Venues:** The Junction (Goole), The Civic (Barnsley), Marsden Mechanics (Wakefield), Red Ladder Theatre (Leeds), Pocklington Arts Centre, Cast (Doncaster), The Arts Club (Liverpool). These partnerships have been instrumental in expanding our reach, fostering artistic innovation, and creating inclusive, accessible theatre experiences nationwide. ## **Outcome 3: Producing High-Quality Theatre for Young People** Over the past year, we have successfully delivered two productions, with a third currently in development. By the time this production is staged, we will have completed a total of 35 nights of bold, high-quality performances showcasing the work of exceptional northern writers. This achievement is particularly significant because we believe one of the most impactful ways to support writers is by producing well-developed, engaging, and ambitious productions that bring their work to life on stage. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Financial position** Page 6 **Silent Uproar Trustees Annual Report** Over the past financial year, the charity has returned to pre-pandemic income levels. Despite the ongoing crisis in the UK touring theatre sector, making it difficult to generate the necessary box office income, Silent Uproar has formed new partnerships with Trusts and Foundations, reducing our reliance on box office income. We have continued our Small Shows touring model and restarted our national touring model for Big Shows with a successful Arts Council England bids to continue our work. ## **Reserves policy** The CIO should if possible, aim to maintain a reserve ambition in its account equal to three months of running costs to include staff salaries and fees, or £15,000, whichever is the greater amount. The company will always aim to pay for the completion of all projects if a decision is made to wind down the CIO. This allows us the time to keep operating, keeping audiences engaged and exploring the other income revenue streams for the charity if traditional income routes disappear. As the charity continues to grow the reserves policy will be reviewed in 2025/2026 ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

(75,763)|45,023| ||||45,023| ## 15 **Post balance sheet events** The trustees of Silent Uproar believe that the Charity remains a going concern, supported by a positive balance sheet as of 5th April 2025. During the year, the Charity incurred high production costs on Dead Girls Rising, one of its flagship projects. The Charity will be submitting a Theatre Tax Relief claim where there is a strong expectation of significant reclaimable tax credits. The Charity are aware that there may be an impact on the scope and scale of activities Silent Uproar could undertake beyond the following financial year. Notwithstanding this, the trustees are confident that, over the longer term, they will be able to adapt the Charity’s practices and services sufficient to enable Silent Uproar to continue its operations. However, at the date of signing these accounts, the trustees acknowledge that this uncertainty may affect the Charity's going concern status as we advance. ## 16 **Related party disclosures** ## _**Controlling party**_ The company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital; thus no single party controls the company.
