Lee Hart

Fellow in 2022 for Theatre

The award was a huge honour and a massive boost to my confidence… The money was a huge help, easing the anxiety that is so often there humming away in the background around ‘how am I going to pay my rent next month.’ To be able to live more openly and courageously as ideas are explored.

Lee Hart is a director, devisor, and practitioner, making ambitious theatre experiences with, and for, some of the hardest to reach members of our communities. Since 2012 Lee has worked closely with Theatre Royal Plymouth to develop, deliver, and creatively direct the Our Space project – a theatre-making programme working with adults who may have faced challenges involving homelessness, isolation, mental health issues, substance misuse or re-offending. Our Space is a large-scale creative programme working in the community, in the theatre, and making public work with artists from marginalised backgrounds. In 2026, Lee will direct The Body Measures Time, inspired by Homer’s Odyssey and devised with armed forces veterans, the incarcerated, and community members across Plymouth.
