The Lab Associates programme is a year-long attachment to Theatre Royal Plymouth. Each year we take up to four new Lab Associate companies and artists.
Lab Associates are paid a fee and invited to make full use of the Theatre’s spaces, resources, and people to develop new work for Platform; a two week showcase of new work in The Drum.
This year’s Lab Associates are; Ruth Mitchell, Emma Baskeyfield, and Voodoo Monkeys. Our Lab Associates will be presenting new work in The Drum theatre this September.
