The Apathists were a collective of British playwrights who staged plays and happenings in London between March 2006 and March 2007.
The events generated a cult following on the London theatre scene.
The collective had a festival of their work at the Union Theatre[1] produced by David Luff and were involved in the 2006 Latitude Festival,[2] but their work mainly centred on monthly nights at Theatre503, formerly the Latchmere Theatre.
[3] The Apathists frequently used the same directors, including Lyndsey Turner, Clare Lizzimore, Dan Herd, Elizabeth Freestone, Duncan Macmillan and Lucy Kerbal.
Performers included Terrence Hardiman, Sara Stewart, Rosie Thomson [1], Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and John Normington.
