nabokov is a theatre company based in the eastern region, dedicated to making work in response to immediately relevant social and political themes.

We are a forum for artistic collaboration and innovation, dedicated to cultivating a young audience and distributing work as widely as possible.

Since 2001 nabokov has hosted a vibrant Events Programme and toured premiere Flagship Productions developing some of the UK's leading emerging talent.

nabokov produces a varied programme for artist development:
Our mission is to provide emerging artists in our home region and across the UK with a framework to forge relationships and innovate their practice.

nabokov continues this development through touring productions:
From the work and collaborators identified through our events we commission exceptional new playwrights and produce their work with extensively toured, high-value productions.

nabokov puts the audience at the heart of its work:
We are devoted to re-affirming theatre's position within the cultural landscape by cultivating crucial new, young audiences.


Alongside its own events and productions, nabokov curates, produces and hosts work at festivals and events including the Latitude Festival.
