Dirty Protest need YOU!

Dirty Protest are looking for an assistant director.

Come and work with us on our next major production, PARALLEL LINES by Katherine Chandler. Directed by Dirty Protest's Catherine Paskell, our first ever national tour will rehearse and open at Chapter, Cardiff before heading off to six key Welsh venues this autumn.

Who are Dirty Protest?

Dirty Protest is about our community of writers, directors, actors and creative practitioners. We create opportunities for experienced and emerging artists to create new work and develop their craft, and build friendships within our amazing theatrical network in Wales.

Launched in 2007, Dirty Protest has worked with over a 150 Welsh writers, staging new plays in theatres and alternative venues, from pubs and clubs, to kebab shops, hairdressers and a forest!

Since then, we have been drawing attention to Welsh new writing, shaking up the arts world along the way. The Guardian called Dirty Protest “cracking” and The Big Issue “spellbinding”. We won Best Production (Critic's Choice) at the Welsh Theatre Critics' Awards for our original production of Parallel Lines and in the last two years have performed at Latitude, the Royal Court Theatre, and Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

“There are few people making theatre this exciting in Wales today.” The Guardian

“Regardless of the surroundings, whether conventional or original, Dirty Protest continues to produce shows that excite theatre goers.” What's on Wales
