About

I’m Kate, I’m rapidly approaching my mid thirties and I recently spent all my money completing a masters in Dramaturgy. And since then I’ve spent most of my time explaining to everyone what exactly a dramaturg is and doing very little actual dramaturging! 

If you don’t know either, don’t worry I spent a large part of my masters trying to tackle that very question, what is a dramaturg? And I’m not going to bore you with a longwinded explanation. Put simply, a dramaturg is essentially a theatre consultant, they provide theatre makers with additional feedback, research and knowledge. As the bridge between the theatre makers and the audience, they make the piece make sense.  

Although it’s a dream job to have, as you can imagine the jobs are very few and far between, so whilst I’m spending my time working front of house in two incredible theatres and doing a little bit of script reading on the side, I thought I would make this a place to use some of that hard earned dramaturgical knowledge and share my thoughts on all the incredible (and not so incredible) theatre I am fortunate enough to see. 

(Oh and there’ll still be a little bit of travel content thrown in, because whilst I may be settled in London for now, I haven’t quite hung up my backpack!)
