ANNUAL REVIEW 2019-2020

OUR VISION
To be a world-class producing theatre for our part of London and beyond, which is famous for drama, fully engaged with the local community and financially sustainable.
A WORD FROM A year ago, we celebrated the opening of My Brilliant Friend Parts 1 & 2 at the National Theatre: this transfer of our 2017 production, directed by Associate Artist Melly Still, was a triumph, and marked the culmination and completion of Executive Producer Jerry Gunn’s 13-year tenure at the Rose. Looking forward to the arrival of Christopher Haydon as our new Artistic Director, we were poised for change and opening a chapter of fresh ambition.

Challenges, however, on an unprecedented scale soon arrived, as they did everywhere: the pandemic has tested the resilience and adaptability of everyone. Our team has worked tirelessly to reinvent our programming and sustain the theatre within ever shifting parameters. During our first closure, several actors and other creatives contributed to keeping our artistic flame alive, through initiatives such as the Readings from the Rose online poetry series; and creative preparation of work on future shows has continued. We launched our #RoseEndures appeal, through which we have benefited from the donations of many loyal audience members. It has been tough, with most members of staff on furlough for several months, but we have been determined to safeguard employment and their well-being to the greatest practicable extent.
OUR CHAIRMAN The recent £380,000 award for the Rose from the Government’s Culture Recovery Fund is a resounding endorsement of both our vital role as a hub of artistic activity for the communities we serve and our work as a producing theatre. It will help to tide us through the coming, and still very challenging, months of uncertainty. Central to the model by which the Rose works, and alongside our box office income and development fund raising, is the support provided by our two founding stakeholders: the Royal Borough of Kingston and Kingston University. RBK has entered a new long term strategic partnership with the Rose that expresses our shared commitment to cultural engagement and impact across our communities. The University is committed to maintaining support to the theatre grounded across the full range of our practical collaborations. Theatre stands as a central expression of who we are and what our society is. I am very pleased that we played a vanguard role in the safe reopening of the theatre sector this autumn. I am most appreciative of the exceptional efforts made by members of the Rose team, led by Robert O’Dowd, and am deeply grateful to the contributions made by every single one of their number. Now there is new work to be done to present our audiences with the quality of artistic and family experience by which we are best known, and which justify their regular support at the box office and in the house. The development fund raising that is also central to our survival depends upon the work we produce and present. On behalf of everyone at the Rose, I look forward to welcoming you back, in the New Year, to a safe and stimulating oasis.
Chris Foy Chairman
OUR AIMS • Put our audiences at the heart of everything we do, from planning the artistic programme to realising the expression of each work • Stimulate, entertain and engage existing and new audiences • Be a hub of artistic activity relevant to the communities of Kingston, greater South West London and the counties beyond • Grow sustainable revenue streams from our box office, development income and trading

• Deepen and ensure fulfilment of relationships with Kingston University and the Borough
Our artistic programme is at our core; we strive to produce consistently work of the highest quality. Our diverse programming ranges from drama and family shows to music and comedy. Our original work for families and children is notable, giving countless people their first experience of theatre. Our new Artistic Director, Chris Haydon, appointed in January 2020, is leading a refreshed view of our artistic strategy and brings great strength in assembling talented and diverse groups of creatives to stage exciting performances. Our Rose Original productions will continue to be complemented by the best of touring drama and family shows to strengthen the appeal of our programme — growing a body of work that is distinctive and commercially successful.
OUR MISSION The Rose Youth Theatre is the best of its type in our part of London as measured by both size and quality, with over 1,100 active participants in the last year. In coming years, we aim to grow the number of bursary places available, thus making the Youth Theatre truly inclusive. Securing funding for a wider-ranging outreach programme, to engage participants of all ages and from diverse backgrounds, is another key priority.

With the generous support of our stakeholders, the Royal Borough of Kingston and Kingston University, we are an arts hub, providing welcoming spaces that have an engaging, lively and contemporary atmosphere and offering free music and public art to regular attendees and occasional visitors alike. Playing host to a wide range of learning and participation activities, as well as community events and festivals, we are an inclusive, accessible venue — meeting Family Arts Campaign standards and serving as a dementia friendly theatre.

HIGHLIGHTS We are pleased to share with you reflections on this past year’s engaging productions. These include family and drama shows at the Rose, alongside successful tours and transfers. We have continued our role as both a nationally-significant producing theatre and a cultural hub for Kingston upon Thames and the surrounding areas.
Following the departure of Jerry Gunn, Executive Producer, we were delighted to welcome Christopher Haydon as our new Artistic Director in January 2020. As the Rose’s creative lead, Chris is responsible for the theatre’s artistic vision and creative programming, as well as overseeing our Participate programmes, working with Director of Learning & Participation Lucy Morrell.
Our artistic programme is at the core of everything we do, and, looking forward, we will increase our work with dynamic creatives, continue to develop original work, nurture emerging talent and create new content. We look forward to updating you on our work in these areas as it progresses, and I know that you will join me in welcoming Chris to the Rose.

PRODUCTION HIGHLIGHTS CAT IN THE HAT
CAPTAIN CORELLI’S MANDOLIN
VALUED FRIENDS
10 - 21 APRIL 2019
23 APRIL – 12 MAY 2019
21 SEPTEMBER – 12 OCTOBER 2019
This was a Rose Theatre and Curve Production in association with the National Centre for Circus Arts, directed by Suba Das. Based on the much-loved book by Dr. Seuss that has captivated generations of readers, The Cat in the Hat featured feline frivolity aplenty, with his acrobatic accomplices Thing 1 and Thing 2.
Presented by Rose Theatre Kingston, Neil Laidlaw, Church & State Productions and Birmingham Repertory Theatre, this production was directed by Rose Associate Artist, Melly Still. Captain Corelli, an enigmatic young Italian officer, is posted to the idyllic Greek island of Cephalonia as part of the occupying forces. The Captain is soon thrown together with Dr Iannis’ strong-willed and beautiful daughter Pelagia, who discovers all the complexities of love, and how it can blossom in the most unexpected and profound way.
Rose Theatre presented a Rose Original, Stephen Jeffrey’s Valued Friends. Directed by Michael Fentiman, this compelling comedy drama was set to the soundtrack of 1980s London and against the backdrop of Thatcher’s Britain. In a city ablaze with social, political and cultural upheaval, four friends in their mid-thirties are scrabbling to keep their heads above water. They are thrown into a battle of nerves when a young, confident property developer offers them a substantial fee to vacate their home. This brand new production was the first revival of the play in 30 years.
Cat in the Hat was part of the Rose’s multiyear partnership with Leicester Curve, which has enabled us to reach diverse family audiences.
The production enjoyed a successful West End transfer following its run at the Rose.

PETER HALL EMERGING ARTISTS FELLOWSHIP
Image credit: Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, Marc Brenner
Rose Theatre is committed to extending its contribution to the development of future theatre practitioners — reflecting its founding Artistic Director Sir Peter Hall’s great passion for mentoring and supporting the next generation. In honour of his remarkable achievements and his service to theatre, the Rose launched the Peter Hall Emerging Artists Fellowship (PHEAF), providing talented emerging artists with a tailor-made residency.
PETER HALL EMERGING ARTISTS FELLOWSHIP NEW WRITING FESTIVAL 12 – 20 September 2019
30 October – 2 November 2019
Managed and devised by Fay Lomas (Peter Hall Emerging Artists Fellow 2019), the New Writing Festival was the first of its kind at the Rose, and capitalised on the Theatre’s reputation as a strong producing house and commissioner of new original works and literary adaptations.
Fay Lomas worked with a number of theatre practitioners throughout her year-long residency which concluded with Out of the Dark, the culmination of her fellowship.
Early career writers, emerging artists and young people of different ages, backgrounds and genders were given the opportunity to learn and to develop their playwriting skills, widening the Rose’s reach and the reach of the Fellowship programme. The Festival also served to diversify our artistic offer, giving the Rose audience the unique experience of seeing work in its early stage of development.

OUT OF THE DARK
Following an open call for script submissions from early career writers, over 450 scripts were received. Of these, three were shortlisted for development and progressed to rehearsed readings with professional actors, directed by Lomas. Alongside this activity, a series of workshops for young people took place, in partnership with the Rose Youth Theatre.
Out of the Dark was written by fledgling writer Suzy Gill and directed by Lomas who worked in partnership to develop the script before it was performed in the Rose Studio. The play was a story, told in spoken word, of a new family, who learn when their baby is six months old that she has a combination of severe neurological disabilities. It’s a moving, powerful story of love and hope, and transcending the odds, and was met with a warm reception by our audience. The Peter Hall Emerging Artists Fellowship was made possible by generous support from Kingston University, those who donated at the memorial service for Peter Hall at Westminster Abbey, and those who wish to remain anonymous.
The New Writing Festival provided the general public with a unique insight into the process of creating new work, and was generously funded through Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grants.

ROSE YOUTH THEATRE Image credits: main image - Our Town, Csilla Horváth. Inset (top to bottom): Refugee, Tangle Photography, Black Beauty, Tangle Photography, Our Town, Csilla Horváth
Rose Under 11s AND Rose Youth Theatre Academy
Our skills-based courses have gone from strength to strength with the number of classes increasing from 25 to 30 over the course of the year. We commissioned emerging playwright and Kingston University alumna Hannah Mribiha to write brand new versions of Thumbelina and Hercules for the students to work on. Youth Theatre Academy students learned skills in psychological realism, screen acting, the Meisner technique, interactive theatre, improvisation and Shakespeare.
ROSE YOUNG COMPANY
Rose Young Company, our public performance strand of the programme, rehearsed and performed a number of successful productions including Black Beauty, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Treasure Island. In the autumn we continued our partnership with Historic Royal Palaces with a devised production at Hampton Court Palace focusing on the life of Queen Elizabeth I. At Christmas, 45 members of our Young Company took to the main stage for the Rose Christmas production of The Snow Queen, performing alongside a professional cast. In the new year, nine of our oldest students were invited to take our production of Ciaran McConville’s The Creature [Frankenstein Retold], directed by Lucy Morrell, to the Oldenburg State Theatre as part of the UK Encounters Festival. The successful production was then restaged at the Rose and served as the professional debut for nine Rose Youth Theatre alumni.
SUMMER SCHOOLS
This year our Summer Schools season saw over 270 students take part in Plays In A Week including A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Oliver, Hansel and Gretel, Jungle Book and Black Beauty. We also hosted our short courses packed with games and storytelling, and our Career In The Arts preparatory class.

community and outreach ROSE COMMUNITY
ROSE COLLECTIVE & OUT AND ABOUT
This year we introduced Rose Company, a new course for members of the community over the age of 55, running alongside our established adult programmes. Company participants are encouraged to socialise, get involved, and exercise their bodies and minds with no pressure to learn lines or publicly perform.
Following a generous grant from the Alchemy Foundation, we developed and launched three new outreach strands this year, with the aim of supporting underprivileged young people and widening our reach and diversity.
Our Rose Players (18+ acting group) worked on a stage adaptation of Three Cold Nights based on short stories by O. Henry, whilst our Playwriting course (18+) returned due to popular demand, run by playwright and dramaturg, Stephen Brown. In the summer, members of the community were given the opportunity to take part in a community production of Our Town by Thornton Wilder, directed by Lucy Morrell. Auditions were open to all, and our final 28 cast members came from all walks of life.
With our Rose Out and About programme, we have been connecting with schools and youth groups and taking workshops to young people who otherwise may not have the opportunity to experience theatre. They are then invited back into the Rose for a follow up workshop. We also launched the Rose Collective, a fully funded, brand new company of young people who might otherwise experience barriers accessing theatre. During their year with us, the participants will develop their skills through creating a piece of work and launching a careers hub to engage other young people. They will also work with other members of Rose Youth Theatre. To achieve greater inclusivity, we have also awarded 11 Youth Theatre bursaries this year. We will continue to fundraise in order to expand our reach and support a greater number of awards.

FUNDRAISING As a registered charity, the Rose relies on support from its stakeholders, donors, grant-giving organisations and the business community in order to thrive. This year, we continued to grow our fundraising activities, engaging a greater number of donors and leveraging new funding opportunities, despite the pandemic’s hitting us hard at the tail end of the financial year when we were forced to close our doors.
Supporting the next generation of artists is a key priority for the Rose. We would like to extend special thanks to the Rolex Institute for their grant towards the inaugural three years of the Peter Hall Emerging Artists Fellowship. Sir Peter Hall was a mentor for the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative during his lifetime, a cause close to his heart which contributes to global culture by helping ensure that the world’s artistic heritage is passed on to the next generation.
We secured a generous grant of £15,000 from Jectus Charitable Trust, which provided crucial core funding to the organisation, and received a project grant from Arts Council England to fund our brand new initiative, the New Writing Festival, which took place in September 2019.
Achieving all the work the Rose does would not be possible without our loyal collective of individual supporters. We are privileged to enjoy the support of our Rose Circle members, who provide vital philanthropic funding, and their engagement with ‘behind-the-scenes’ opportunities surrounding our productions gives them a unique insight into our work. We are also grateful to Rose Loyalty Card holders, and our many box office and regular donors.
In October we were delighted to host a special fundraising event: Dame Judi Dench in Conversation with Gyles Brandreth which raised an incredible £60,000 for the Rose. This was the first time Dame Judi had returned to the Rose since her acclaimed performance as Titania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 2010 and it was truly a joy and a privilege to have her on our stage once again.
Your generosity helps to sustain our drama, culture and learning and participation programmes — now and into the future. Funding secured through gifts, grants and sponsorship supports our incredible team and helps to make possible the full range of our activities. Quite literally, we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for our valued supporters.
FUNDRAISING #RoseEndures
2020 has been a year of unprecedented challenges, not only for the Rose but for the theatre sector as a whole. Following the announcement of the first Government-enforced lockdown, the Rose closed to the public on 17 March. Despite our closure, we maintained engagement with our audiences and continued to plan for future productions. Our 1,200-plus strong Rose Youth Theatre moved online, and we continued to host our core outreach groups to combat loneliness and promote wellbeing amongst those who are most vulnerable to the effects of isolation during the pandemic. We also tried and tested new and different ways to keep in touch with our audiences, including Readings from the Rose, poetry readings from prominent actors and creatives curated by Artistic Director Chris Haydon and the online screening of a series of short films made by young people in our Participate programme.

Throughout the pandemic, we have focused on resilience. Our fundraising team secured a £35k Emergency Grant from Arts Council England, and more recently a £380k grant from the Culture Recovery Fund. Our audience loyalty has always been strong, demonstrated by the unprecedented outpouring of support from our communities since the first lockdown in March 2020. The #RoseEndures fundraising campaign, launched in March, has secured an incredible £70,000 in funding for the theatre. The support of our donors, our sponsors and our key stakeholders has been more important than ever during this period, and for this, all of us at the Rose are deeply grateful.
‘WE ARE ABSOLUTELY DEDICATED TO KEEPING OUR EYES ON THE HORIZON. WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE THINKING, DREAMING, IMAGINING AND CREATING SO THAT WHEN WE CAN ALL GATHER TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN, WE WILL BE ABLE TO FILL OUR STAGE WITH STORIES OF HOPE, LOVE AND OF RESILIENCE’
