There used to be a theatre here.
Hard to imagine that, isn’t it?
Racing through history, into the contemporary, and far into the future, GAMEPLAY is a powerful shot of experimental performance from acclaimed theatre-maker Sam Rees.
In an act of game theory, of game playing, Rees leads a group of people in a rehearsal for the apocalypse.
There’s only this. This room. This moment. These people. And whatever happens next.
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
