Genesis Fellow Joe Hill-Gibbins has received high critical acclaim for his revival of Martin McDonagh’s celebrated play, The Beauty Queen of Leenane.

The Beauty Queen Of Leenane established McDonagh's reputation on its premiere at the Royal Court in 1996, winning him Evening Standard and Critics' Circle awards and a Laurence Olivier Award nomination. It subsequently transferred to Broadway where it won a Tony Award for Best Play.

On 8 July, the Royal Court Theatre kick started its annual International Residency for Emerging Playwrights with a cream tea.  This year, nine international playwrights will spend three and a half weeks working on new plays with the Royal Court Theatre team and a dedicated group of British theatre artists.  The writers come from the Czech Republic, Denmark, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, Spain, Turkey and Ukraine.  This is the 22nd International Residency to take place at the Royal Court, a programme that forms the launch pad for much of the work of the International Departmen

Matt Williams of The Independent, writes:

In yesterday's Watford Observer, Natalie Carter, a young girl studying at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy and supported by The Genesis Foundation, spoke of her joy at becoming the first British girl to train for a full diploma at a prestigious Russian ballet school.

Michael Pickard writes:

Yesterday, Natalie Carter, a young girl studying at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow and supported by the Genesis Foundation, passed her end of year ballet exam with a score of 4 out of 5! Natalie is now able to sign a contract for a further 3 years study and start working towards her diploma. At the Academy, Natalie is also required to study the Russian language and in one year has progressed to a high enough standard that she has been placed into a Musical Literature class to aid her musical development.
