Tristan will shortly begin work with a team of Oxford theatre makers to present a 24 hour play as part of Oxford's Offbeat Festival in association with the Oxford Playhouse and Old Fire Station Theatre.

Devising will begin this evening and scriptwriting will take place into the early hours of Tuesday morning. Rehearsals will then dominate Tuesday afternoon and the piece will be performed alongside three other 24 hour plays at the Old Fire Station on the evening of the 21st.

Tristan Jackson-Pate

My name is Tristan Jackson-Pate and I am a theatre maker.

I make theatre that’s hopeful and curious about the world, rooted in the belief that stories can change the way we see it.

Since 2015, I’ve been Artistic Director of the award-winning People’s Theatre Collective, where much of my work has focused on creating theatre with and for young people. I’ve also worked with wonderful organisations including Oxford Playhouse, Creation Theatre and Nottingham Playhouse. My productions have been seen on over 100 stages across the UK.

I’m an Associate Artist with Royal & Derngate, Human Story Theatre and a Mentor Director for National Theatre Connections. In 2026 I was the proud recipient of the Peggy Ramsay Foundation grant for Playwriting.

As a facilitator I aim to create inclusive spaces that empower participants to discover their potential regardless of background. A drive to reduce inequality and increase opportunity underpins my work in theatre and with the charities Arts Emergency and Sophie's Silver Lining Fund.
