The ReStage Script: A National Infrastructure Vision for Circular Stage & Screen Production

On 7 July, ReStage and its founding partners launched The ReStage Script: A National Infrastructure Vision for Circular Stage & Screen Production.  

This "New Script" for reuse carries a vision to affect substantive change across the screen and stage sectors, establishing a zero-waste economy within an industry that spends around £1.5bn each year buying and disposing of materials for sets and scenery.

ReStage, in collaboration with the National Theatre, has been running a pilot at the National Theatre's Green Store for the past year and has now set out a long-term costed vision to realise reuse at an industrial scale, with the publication of a new report anchored in a deep body of research, engagement, and operational testing.

With the UK & Ireland recognised as a global benchmark for culture this is a chance to reflect on how we might unlock the infrastructure and coordinated leadership needed to pull together the space, funds, and skills needed to turn a significant environmental challenge into a £955 million industrial opportunity.

Join us for The ReStage Script Sessions

Our Chair, Sara Turnbull, and new Executive Director, Sherry Dobbin, will share the work, the plan and next stages with the attendees in active dialogue.
