Felix Barrett, MBE is the artistic director of Punchdrunk,[1] a British theatre company internationally recognised as pioneering ways for audiences to experience culture, which he founded in 2000.[2][3][4] In 2015, a new company was formed, Punchdrunk International, which produces a selection of Punchdrunk’s commercial productions for national and international audiences.
Barrett is a graduate and Honorary Doctorate in Drama of the University of Exeter and was one of the first recipients of a Paul Hamlyn Foundation Breakthrough Fund Award (supporting exceptional arts practitioners in the development of their vision).[5] He was appointed Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2016 Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to theatre.[6]
Barrett is the creator and executive producer of The Third Day, a co-production between Sky Studios and HBO, in partnership with Plan B Entertainment, writer Dennis Kelly and Punchdrunk International. It will be the company's first TV production and will air in the UK and the US in 2020.[7]
