We look for exciting new voices that tell contemporary stories with wit, style and passion and we champion work that is both provocative and entertaining. The Bush has produced hundreds of groundbreaking premieres since its inception in 1972, many of them Bush commissions, and hosted guest productions by leading companies and artists from across the world. The Bush is widely acclaimed as the seedbed for the best new playwrights, many of whom have gone on to become established names. We also champion the introduction of new talent to the industry, whilst continuing to attract major acting and directing talents.
