Partners/Links

Sputnik relies on the generosity of individual, corporate and statutory donors to allow us to commission new playwrights, translate and stage new plays. Any amount, however small, is an invaluable support to us in realising ongoing and future projects.

We have had several high profile corporate sponsors to date and we can offer benefits to suit your needs. Please be in touch with us if you’d like to discuss this further.

If you’re an individual and you’ve seen our work, and want to see us doing more of the same and exploring new avenues too, please contribute whatever you can, even something which may seem very small to you, will be hugely appreciated by us and make a big difference to our output. You can send cheques payable to ‘Sputnik Theatre Company Ltd’ to our registered address, care of our accountant: Sputnik Theatre Company c/o Goldblatts, 171-173 Gray’s Inn Road, London WC1X 8UE, or contact us to get our bank details for an online transfer (see Contact Page).

    Why Russia?
    Russia has a history of theatrical innovation. Russian playwrights have played a significant role in shaping modern European theatre.

    Contemporary playwriting in Russia has been going through an important and innovative period since 1991 with a prolific output by predominantly young dramatists.
