Tristan will direct two plays from the 2018 NT Connections festival in June and July, for Pegasus Theatre, Oxford.

Students on the ‘Boom Satsuma’ course will perform in ‘The Changing Room’ by Chris Bush and ‘Dungeness’ by Chris Thompson. The plays explore adolescence and LGBTQ+ issues respectively and will be performed both at Pegasus Theatre and in local schools, as part of the course’s Theatre in Education module.

Public performances will take place on July 12, with full details to be announced shortly.

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.
