We ran the Bronze Arts Award scheme last year with Junior and Senior Youth Theatre members, the scheme allowed 5 of them to get a national recognized accreditation for their learning and participation at the theatre. The scheme was run as a pilot and we are now planning to run a Silver award with Youth Theatre members in the future.

You may not know it, but Oberon Books have been kind enough to publish two fantastic books about the history of our theatre. Both were written by our resident archivist (and original member of Joan Littlewood’s company), the incomparable Murray Melvin.

Last night, the Mubarek family launched The Zahid Mubarek Trust with an event in the River Room at the House of Lords and Theatre Royal was invited to contribute to the event. Kerry Michael directed a 20 minute section of ‘Gladiator Games’ – with four of the original cast.
THE ZAHID MUBAREK TRUST
The Trust has been set up by the Mubarek family in memory of their beloved son Zahid Mubarek. Zahid was brutally murdered whilst in the care of Feltham Young Offenders Institute in 2000 in an unprovoked racist attack. As well as monitoring the recommendations of the Zahid Mubarek Inquiry, our main aim is to campaign for a more humane penal system. We are especially concerned with those most vulnerable and in need of support.
Much progress has been made over recent years. We want to build on this and to add value by providing an independent voice. We aim to do this by:
Advocating for improvements within the Criminal Justice System
Improving life chances and reducing inequality
Challenging the potential for existing and future criminality in schools and prisons
Promoting new understanding of Equality and Human Rights Culture
