The Wapping Project is the creation of the Women's Playhouse Trust which was set up in 1981.
Throughout the 80s and the early 90s WPT’s artistic policy was defined by the playwrights it commissioned, produced and published, predominantly at the Royal Court Theatre, London. In 1993 it began to mount work in one of London’s most beautiful, derelict buildings in the East End, the Wapping Hydraulic Power Station; it is at this point that it became known as
The Wapping Project, and established a worldwide reputation. It was always described by its founder and director, Jules Wright, as an idea consistently in transition. I have written about projects from this period on this blog
before.
This publication titled 'Passage' follows two previous works 'Passage 2013' and 'Passage 1996' It features three pieces of poetry responding to the theme passageby Agnieszka Studzinska, Alia Syed and Heather Phillipson.

Size is 210x148mm (A5) portrait and is saddle stitched. The 4pp cover is hot foil blocked with a large solid panel in red foil (and on back cover). The 48pp text is printed on our Offenbach Bible 60gsm, which works beautifully. The publication is mainly text but the striking design uses the 'show through' to create amazing overlaying patterns.

Printed offset litho in two colours, the 48pp text flops and flows beautifully in the hand...

There are some images to support the text, which are all printed as monotones...
...and there is one double page spread, which is a full out image, which looks fantastic.
Using the Offenbach Bible 60gsm means that the total thickness of the 48pp is only 2mm!
Superb detail is the black coloured wire stitching (staples) a small touch, which makes all the difference. Published in an edition of 600.
Design is by
Atelier Dyakova and the creative director is Sonya Dyakova. Printing is by Push and the printing on our Offenbach Bible 60gsm and the finishing is superb.
