We shot our new E Safety drama ‘Do You Accept’ (adapted from my 2017 play ‘The Web’) in December and the film is now in post-production.
The film, shot largely on green screen at Activate Learning’s Banbury Campus is to be edited by Yael Biran with composition by Adrian Banks and graphic design by Nadia Rich.
It will be screened in Oxfordshire schools with accompanying live workshops in March 2021.
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.
