THE WATERMILL
The Watermill Theatre produces quality work that attracts high calibre artists and creative teams earning it a reputation as one of the very best producing regional theatres in the country. It is one of only five theatres that has been awarded a National Touring remit by Arts Council England and its work tours and entertains, moves and impresses audiences at home and internationally.
Twice a year The Watermill performs new writing to rural communities, playing in village halls and small arts centres. It actively encourages new writing and nurtures talented individuals in all areas. The programme of work is designed to entertain, to challenge and to enrich the quality of life for all, whether participants or audience. Alongside this it organises an extensive range of youth and education activities and works closely with the business community.
The theatre seats 220 people within a stunning converted mill situated in beautiful gardens on the bank of the river Lambourn just outside Newbury in West Berkshire. The compact building makes the theatre experience extraordinarily intimate for both performers and audience.
