Theatre Voices: 20 Years of Capturing Practice

Since 2004, the V&A’s unique oral archive TheatreVoice has captured the leading voices of performing arts in the UK. Join a panel of industry experts for a special 20th anniversary live recording for the archive, to explore just how far British Theatre has come in the past two decades.

TheatreVoice is a oral archive focusing on British theatre, and features journalists from across the UK press and practitioners from across the theatre industry. It was set up in 2003 to see if theatre could be talked about in a new way: allowing critics to be more expansive than the usual space constraints of the print media allowed; to enable actors, writers, directors and designers to be heard talking in detail and at length about their work; and to help members of the public interact more directly with theatre-makers and commentators.
