The Journey

Albatross, written by 2022 Bruntwood Judges Prize-winning playwright, Martha Loader, had its first preview performance at Hotbed Theatre Festival 2024.

Martha worked alongside Menagerie Theatre as their commissioned playwright over the past year to create Albatross. She interviewed several Antarctic scientists to gain an insight into their work and lives.

Albatross was first performed as a staged reading in March 2024, followed by performances at Hotbed that July.
