“2025 was a remarkable year for Leeds Playhouse, marked by bold artistic work and clear public impact. Through powerful storytelling, strong partnerships, and deep community engagement, we reached audiences across our stages, our city, and across the UK – supporting artists, amplifying diverse voices, and creating award winning theatre that sparked dialogue and connection.

“As we look to 2026, our focus is on building momentum: deepening partnerships, investing in new work, and strengthening Leeds Playhouse’s role as a vital civic space for culture, creativity, and shared experience.

“Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to working together in 2026!”
Shawab Iqbal, Leeds Playhouse Chief Executive
