Theatre Re is making its debut at the Music & Drama Education Expo as one of this year's exhibitors. John Johnson sits down with its founder and artistic director, Guillaume Pigé, to find out more about the company and the work it produces.
Theatre Re came to life in 2011. As a director and actor, I joined forces with Katherine Graham, lighting designer, and composer and musician Alex Judd, to make our first show called The Gambler. We received our very first Arts Council grant to make it, and looking back, it feels like this initial project already had all the components of what makes a Theatre Re show. It was collaborative at heart, and was collectively devised with music, action and light being the key components. It also had strong connections with cross-sector partners and community groups such as Gamblers Anonymous. The piece had successful runs both in Edinburgh and London. As a team, we all felt like we could do more together, so we just kept going!
