A structured development initiative for emerging playwrights, directors, designers and a producer. This showcase of two productions, three play readings and an exhibition is the culmination of 18 months of mentoring, workshops and international research trips, in which the SEEDS3 artists worked together as a company and an ensemble.

Caligula by Albert Camus in a new translation by David Greig. “I feel a violent need for impossible things…” What would you do if you found you had absolute power and realised at the same time that you could never have what you really wanted? Camus’ Caligula is set in Rome as the Empire starts to decay, strangled in the hands of its most notorious emperor. A darkly poetic, savagely funny exploration of the meanings of power, life and love.
