Theatreship opened to the public in 2024[2] and is the first vessel in the Canal and River Trust's 'Arts and Heritage Berth'.[3]
Programme
Programming on the ship focuses on experimental, under-represented and interdisciplinary music and arts, with a particular remit to support new work and genre-pushing artists.[4]
Theatreship's programme opened with a season of the films of Powell and Pressburger paired with contemporary live performances as a part of the British Film Institute's 2024 celebration of the filmmakers.[5]
Theatreship runs a regular weekly free mystery cinema night, where audience members do not know what the film will be in advance.[6]
People
Theatreship was founded by Inigo Lapwood.[3] Television producer Natalie Hill is the head of film programming and concert pianist Karl Lutchmayer is the head of classical music programming.[3]
