The Base Creates
We discuss Sartre's play 'No Exit' with Nina Power. Nina was our speaker in our December 2023 performance of Sartre's classic play. Nina takes us through some key ideas in existentialist thinking and explores with us what Sartre might have been asserting about the human condition.
The Base Creates is a new production company founded by Oliver Bennett and Morgan Watkins.
We want to rediscover, explore and reinvigorate great texts in the Western canon to challenge the conformity of the contemporary dramatic arts.
In a series of readings, we will bring to life profound texts with responses from new interesting thinkers.
Moving forward, we want to inspire new writers, fostering a movement of fearless creatives and exciting intellectuals.
We believe drama needs to go deeper and challenge audiences in order to do justice to our fascinating and troubling modern world.
The Base Creates will celebrate excellence, depth and vitality.

The Base Creates - Episode 4 - Sebastian Milbank - The Faustian Man.
We sit down with Sebastian Milbank to discuss his thoughts on Goethe's Faust Part 1. Sebastian is a writer and Executive Editor of the magazine The Critic. Sebastian gave a response to our staged reading of Faust Part 1 in March in St Bartholomew the Great's church in Smithfield in London. We talk about why Goethe was so drawn to this myth and what the 'Faustian Man' might symbolise in the changing and developing epochs of our world.
