After recently celebrating over a decade of theatremaking and a critically acclaimed, award-winning online run, Encompass Productions return to the White Bear Theatre with HOMECOMING: A NEW THEATRE FESTIVAL, hosting four world premieres. A celebration of theatre returning to its true home - the stage - Homecoming features new work from a wide array of London's very best theatre companies and award-winning talent.
Artistic Director of Encompass Productions, Jonathan Woodhouse, said "We're ecstatic to finally bring Homecoming: A New Theatre Festival to audiences this July. To be invited to curate a week of new writing for the White Bear Theatre's reopening season is a true honour. New work from multi-award winners Tramp, a solo show from Faith Brandon, our co-production of Jordan Paris's debut play with Metamorph Theatre, plus the return of Bare Essentials make Homecoming a truly unmissable theatrical event. Theatre is coming home!"
