Behind the Mask | Celebrating 40 Years of Trestle

Online Exhibition

This online version of our Anniversary exhibition charts the history of the company and invites the public to discover the extraordinary theatre and education work that we have created over the past four decades.

Creative Director Helen Barnett said, “We are thrilled to have worked in partnership with the St Albans Museum + Gallery to celebrate Trestle’s 40th Birthday, funded by Arts Council England. Behind the Mask will take the public on a whistle-stop tour of the last 40 years, offering insights and a rare look into Trestle’s archive. As Creative Director it has been a privilege to curate the exhibition, we have unearthed so many hidden treasures within Trestle Arts Base and it has been a joy to interview many of the wonderful people who have played a part in the company’s rich history. We can’t wait to share the stories and memories we’ve captured and I hope that they will inspire and delight our audiences as much as they have us”.
