Jade Anouka, Louise English, Dervla Kirwan, Ruth Madeley, Art Malik, Meera Syal, Sophie Stone and David Threlfall will perform monologues written by Moira Buffini, Lolita Chakrabarti, Seiriol Davies, Matilda Ibini, Courttia Newland, Meera Syal, Jack Thorne and Paul Unwin in response to each decade since Aneurin Bevan launched the NHS at Park Hospital, Manchester, on 5 July 1948.

Lolita Chakrabarti said: ‘I am thrilled to be curating this One Voice for The Old Vic and delighted that so many talented and accomplished actors will be a part of it.

You'd send a play off to a theatre, and, if they read it, they might decide to put it on. The production would be cast, designed and marketed largely without your input. If the director felt like it, you might attend the read-through and a late run, to check on what changes had been made in your play. After it opened you'd get some money, in the form of a percentage of the box office. In the 1970s and 1980s, all that changed. In collaboration with the Writers' Guild (WGGB), a new Theatre Writers' Union negotiated binding, minimum terms agreements with – first – the National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal Court. Then agreements were negotiated with the rest of the building based sector, and finally with independent, non-building based companies.

  • April 2017 Welcome Jim Cox

    April 2017 Welcome Jim Cox

    APRIL 2017 WELCOME JIM COX y many measures, 2016 was the most successful year in the Globe’s history. We sold more dollars’ worth of tickets and raised more contributed income than in any other year. We sent three shows to Broadway; provided jobs to nearly 700 artists, craftspeople, technicians, and arts administrators; and generated tens of millions of dollars of economic activity in our city. BAll of these are successes that numbers can measure, that metrics can benchmark and count. X number of dollars, Y number of tickets, Z number of people. But what about the successes that defy algebraic representation? Other than through numbers, how can we know when The Old Globe succeeds? We can know that the Globe is succeeding because we value what it does, and the value we affix to the Globe is our way of measuring it. Values are a lot like numbers. They are palpable, material. We can hold values, we can weigh them, we can assess them. Like numbers, they can guide us. Like numbers, they can tell us whether we are close or far from our goals. And like numbers, values can be stated. It is our honor to introduce to you a newly articulated Statement of Values that The Old Globe will use to conduct its work moving forward. We generated this statement over nearly two years of work. It has made its way through our Board and our staff. It is being fed into our workflow and our decision-making processes, and it is being applied both internally and externally.
