Welcome to VAULT
The magic of the theatre often lies in its transience. There’s something special in the live event, in the shared space of bodies crammed into a room to witness a good story well told. Imagine that, multiplied by ten, and you’ve got the inarticulable atmosphere of VAULT Festival – dozens of stories unfolding in one moment to thousands of captive audience members. It is theatre at its most vibrant, its most immediate, its most live.
Plays though – what makes them special is the way that they live on long after the stage goes dark. For writers, seeing their script published represents a permanent life for their work. It allows the stories they’ve dreamed up to reach out to people long after their run with us has ended. Publishing a script preserves, but it also reinvigorates – placing the story firmly into the imaginations of new readers and audience members and artists for years and years to come.
This year, VAULT Festival is honoured to welcome one of its strongest contingents of new writing yet. The emerging artists that we work with are bursting at the seams with stories, ranging from elaborate escape plans to playful ruminations on the state of the world, from measuring the value of a single life to celebrating the warmth of a community.
The writers and stories chosen here represent a small portion of the talent on offer from the VAULT Festival family. Our artists are teeming with love and intelligence and rage, they are brimming with urgency and voice and soul and ready to tear up the stage. As far as we’re concerned, they are the writers, makers and tellers of the future, and now, their stories are in your hands.
As always, none of this would be possible without the unwavering support of Nick Hern Books. Their dedicated belief in our artists and consistent investment in their talent is essential to our work. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
