Working in collaboration with Royal & Derngate, Bristol Old Vic, Belgrade Coventry, Rich Mix, Coney and The Marlowe Theatre, Projekt Europa will deliver an ambitious year-long programme aimed at internationalising the UK theatre industry by championing and platforming the work of first generation migrant communities and artists around the country.
Today, Jermyn Street Theatre has announced the winners of two major initiatives promoting underrepresented theatremakers: the Woven Voices Prize for Playwriting in collaboration with Woven Voices, and the 2022 cohort of Creative Associates. The winner of the first Woven Voices Prize, dedicated to celebrating and platforming migrant playwrights, is Kazakhstan-born Karina Wiedman (video here) with her play The Anarchist.
