Recent Work

Sphinx 30

Sphinx 30 is a year- long programme for female playwrights to celebrate Sphinx Theatre’s 30th anniversary. Thirty playwrights produce thirty new plays, with mentorship and industry-led guidance, then showcase their work, in association with Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

What Share of the Cake?

Following the recent publication of the Arts Council’s next ten year Strategy, Sphinx Theatre joined with University Women in the Arts and the December Group at Trafalgar Studios for a major forum on Women in Theatre.

A Berlin Kabaret

Inspired by the journey of Bertolt Brecht and his collaborator composer Hanns Eisler. From the Weimar Republic, through wartime Germany, to the damning McCarthy era of post-war America and back again, A Berlin Kabaret is an unexpected and superlative theatrical cabaret.
