THE JMK AWARD

James Menzies-Kitchin was a theatre director of thrilling promise. The JMK Trust was founded in his memory to give practical learning opportunities to young theatre directors of similar ability and vision. The JMK Award allows one such director a year to stage their own production of a classic text.

The JMK Trust is kindly supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Philip Hooker, the Young Vic and the Ian Ritchie Foundation.

Patrons: Dame Judi Dench, Baroness Howe, Sir Ian McKellen and Tom Morris (Founding Chair)
Registered Charity No. 295080

Show information

Olga’s new boyfriend rides a motorcycle. Kurt would rather be dead than eat dinner with his parents. They could be normal teenage siblings, just trying to survive. But Kurt and Olga have a nasty secret – one that could burn their world to the ground.

Featuring Aimee-Ffion Edwards (E4's Skins), William Postlethwaite (Collaborators at the NT) and Rupert Simonian (Punk Rock and Three Kingdoms at the Lyric Hammersmith), this is the first UK revival of Fireface since its original run at the Royal Court in 2000.

Marius von Mayenburg's work includes 2011's radical version of Hamlet at the Barbican. Sam Pritchard is the winner of the JMK Award 2012.
