Treasure Island enjoys successful run at Banbury Town Hall

Written By Tristan Jackson-Pate

Tristan's production of Treasure Island: The Panto ran for 2 weeks at Banbury Town Hall this January, playing to family audiences as well as many local primary schools in North Oxfordshire.

The historic venue proved a beautiful setting for Cherwell Theatre Company's 'hands on' and extra interactive re-telling of the classic Robert Louis Stevenson story (with a few modern twists!) and a great time was had by the 30+ young people involved in the production who worked alongside four professional actors to deliver a truly unique show.

CTC's next productions will be gala evening 'The American Evening' and a 24 hour play challenge in March 2017.

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.
