The Sala Beckett / Obrador Internacional de Dramatúrgia is a space for theatrical creation and experimentation which endeavours especially to promote contemporary drama and offer a meeting point for playwrights, stage directors and the general public.
A range of activities take place at the Sala Beckett and its Obrador, from teaching and experimentation programmes with varying degrees of specialisation, through regular show production and programming, to international courses, workshops and meetings, the publication of drama and theoretical texts, and the translation and specific promotion of authors, shows and plays, with a special emphasis on new forms of dramatic writing.
Since 2011 Sala Beckett / Obrador Internacional de Dramatúrgia has existed as a Foundation of a private nature, officially recognised by the Catalan Government, with a Board of Trustees, formed by 13 playwrights, that supervises its compliance with the objectives expressed in the founding statutes and that guarantees the transparency and democratic functioning of the organisation.
Trustees of the Fundació Sala Beckett / Obrador Internacional de Dramatúrgia: Josep Maria Benet i Jornet (Chairman), Carles Batlle, Sergi Belbel, Marta Buchaca, Toni Casares, Lluïsa Cunillé, Jordi Galceran, Juan Mayorga, Pau Miró, David Plana, Pere Riera, José Sanchis Sinisterra and Mercè Sarrias.
