Evolution Labs was set up in 2016 by Young Lyric and the BA Theatre Design course at Wimbledon College of Arts as a much needed collaborative opportunity for early career directors and designers to meet and co-create new work. This year four young directors will each direct re-lensed classic plays including a queer presentation of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest and a psychological reimagining of Sophocles’ Greek tragedy Electra.
