All of Them, Dead on tour for pride month

Written By Tristan Jackson-Pate

I’m currently working as dramaturg on All Of Them, Dead, a brilliant new play written by Thom Munden and co-directed by Thom alongside Krage Brown, touring June–July 2026.

All Of Them, Dead follows Harry and Corey, who meet outside an abandoned burger shop during the apocalypse. As they fall in love, the country falls apart. It’s a play about being young and gay in the middle of nowhere – about the things that go unsaid, about two boys holding hands, about clinging together as the world shifts around you. And, unexpectedly, it’s also about meat falling from the sky.

The piece was originally created through Oxford Playhouse’s Queer Fest, where it featured in the 2024 Scratch Night (under its original title Wisbech Meat Shower) and then further developed through R&D last summer, so it’s thrilling to see the piece tour in it’s completed version to coincide with pride 2026!

Alongside this production I’ll also be supporting four emerging queer identifying writers to develop short plays inspired by the themes of All of Them, Dead, which will be rehearsed and staged as a curtain raiser events before the performamces.

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.
