Peter Holland joins English Touring Theatre as producer

Frantic Assembly producer Peter Holland is to join English Touring Theatre.

He will become producer for ETT, joining the company in January, and working alongside artistic director Richard Twyman and executive director Sophie Scull.

Holland said: “Touring theatre is the lifeblood to venues across the UK and I’m excited to be working with a company who work and partner with so many organisations across the country and internationally to commission and produce empowering and quality work. I’ve long admired ETT’s variety of productions within their programme and I look forward to getting started in the New Year.”

Twyman and Scull said Holland brought “a wealth of knowledge of the touring sector and a commitment to equality and inclusion” to the company, describing these as “principles that sit at the centre of ETT’s work”.

“As we continue to expand the work we make and the audiences we make it for, Peter’s talent and experience will be invaluable and we look forward to welcoming him to the team,” they said.

Holland’s credits include Anna Jordan’s The Unreturning and the 25th anniversary commission of Sally Abbott’s I Think We Are Alone, co-directed by Kathy Burke and Scott Graham.
