We are so pleased to welcome Scott Hurran as a trustee of Baseless Fabric. Scott brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience both from working within the theatre sector and as a previous Relationship Manager with Arts Council England. We’re excited to work with Scott going forward with Baseless Fabric’s next plans!
We asked him a few questions so you could get to know him:
What excites you most about working with Baseless Fabric?
I love how Baseless Fabric takes opera and theatre out into the world — meeting people where they are and making art that feels alive, unexpected, and full of heart. The company’s mix of ambition and accessibility really excites me; it proves that bold, high-quality work can also be playful and local.
What other projects have you been working on recently?
I’ve been producing and supporting new writing and artist development projects at the Mercury Theatre, while also developing some of my own film and theatre work. It’s been a busy but rewarding mix — working with emerging artists one day and planning future creative projects the next keeps things feeling fresh.

The Neither that Headlong did has always stayed with me — it was haunting and completely unlike anything else I’ve seen. Łukasz Twarkowski’s Rothko at the Barbican blew me away with its scale and intensity, and seeing thirty noses do a tap dance at the ENO in The Nose was so gloriously bizarre and joyful that I’ll never forget it.
