“You are invited to a birthday party

in a place that dreams are made on

as we come of age, open new doors

and celebrate together, where wild waves whist

and all our stories begin.”

 

This summer marks the 21st birthday of our Production & Learning Centre, TR2. Over the years, this building has seen the evolution of countless sets, productions and personal journeys. Work created at TR2 has been showcased all over the world and, now the building has come of age, we want to offer you the key to unlock its secrets, reflect on its past, and dream up its future.

 

Inspired by the tradition of giving a key to celebrate a 21st birthday, and interwoven with William Shakespeare’s great coming-of-age play The Tempest, The Key is an immersive theatre, music and dance experience featuring a cast of over 100 performers from across the organisation.
