- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “We undertook a major mid-scale tour of a new play, Lost Atoms, written by Anna Jordan and directed by our Artistic Director, Scott Graham. This our 30th anniversary production - was a critically acclaimed co-production with Curve in Leicester, Mayflower Southampton and Lyric Hammersmith Theatre.”
- “We collaborated with Aurora Orchestra and Southbank Centre on an orchestral theatre staging of Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals at the Queen Elizabeth Hall and on tour in the UK and Europe.”
- “In 2025, we were thrilled to bring back Ignition, our nationwide free talent development programme for young people, aged 16-24, from under-represented and socio-economically disadvantaged areas. Ignition breaks down social barriers to the performing arts, and it is needed now more than ever, yet lack of funding had forced us to pause this vital programme in 2024. Instead, we launched a major funding campaign, raising sufficient funds to enable us to run Ignition in 2025, and to plan to do so again in 2026.”
- “In the past year, taking the above-mentioned productions into account, 54,905 people saw a live show in which Frantic Assembly was involved.”
- “We were therefore delighted that Ignition alumnus Paapa Essiedu won the 2026 Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in All My Sons in the West End, and that he generously chose to use his acceptance speech at the Royal Albert Hall, ... to articulate how he would never have found his way to this moment if it were not for Frantic Assembly's Ignition.”
