Our audiences are important to us - which is why we asked Adam Dant, the 21st century's Hogarth, to spend some time getting to know them, and How Theatre Works is the result. A unique and fantastical look at how the National Theatre might, just might actually work...
Dant’s monumental narrative ink drawings combine depictions of familiar public spaces and architecture with various mythologies and histories. Their construction involves a great deal of historical research which accounts for the ‘multi-layered’ and ‘information- heavy’ aspect to his work.
Adam’s work is exhibited internationally and is in the collections of Tate Britain, MOMA New York, Deutsche Bank, UBS, Musee D’Art Contemporain, Lyon, HRH Prince of Wales, Museum of London & various other public and private collections.
