Central to this commitment is Pleasance Futures, the theatre’s artist development programme, which supports emerging talent through initiatives including the Charlie Hartill Fund, Associate Artists and Companies, Pleasance Scratch, BRIDGES and mentoring. This year, Pleasance has supported Remember, Remember!, the 2026 winner of the Charlie Hartill Fund, which transfers to Pleasance London’s Main House from 4–21 November. Created by WIT? Theatre Company, this irreverent comedy musical offers a wildly inaccurate retelling of the Gunpowder Plot, complete with hilarious songs, forbidden love and explosive action.
