She Said She Wouldn't

Jun 24

Jess Lloyd Jones, Krage Brown and the creative team behind "She Said She Wouldn't"

Tristan was delighted to work with Oxford based writer Hannah Greenstreat, Assistant Director Griff Rees and actors Krage Brown and Jess Lloyd Jones on a short play "She Said She Wouldn't" as part of Offbeat Festival's 24 Hour Plays challenge.

The play, set in the Nine Lives Cat Sanctuary, was devised by the company into the early hours of Tuesday morning, the script delivered by the writer at 7am and then rehearsed throughout the day in preparation for a performance at The Old Fire Station, Oxford in the evening.

There was a Q&A with each group after their plays were performed and audience feedback was offered. The event was organised by Oxfordshire Theatre Makers and the Offbeat Festival continues throughout the week.

Tristan Jackson-Pate

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

I’m originally from Stroud and first found a place of belonging in a youth theatre, which changed my life. I went on to train as an actor at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, and now I find the most joy in creating professional theatre with and for young people.

Since 2015, I’ve been Artistic Director of the award-winning People’s Theatre Collective in Oxfordshire. I’ve also worked in a freelance capacity with wonderful organisations like Creation Theatre, Oxford Playhouse and The Belgrade Theatre, Coventry.

During ten years as a writer, director and facilitator, I’ve written nine plays, a short film, and facilitated inclusive community arts projects in creative writing, devised theatre, and music composition with diverse participants. My freelance writing includes children’s stories, song commissions, educational videos, and sightseeing tours.

I’m an Associate Artist at Royal & Derngate, Northampton, a past Associate at the Old Rep Theatre, Birmingham and a Mentor Director for the National Theatre Connections programme.

As a trustee for Sophie's Silver Lining Fund, I’m committed to creating inclusive, youth led spaces that empower young people to discover their potential no matter their background. A drive to reduce inequality and champion fairer opportunities underpins all my work.
