Hello and welcome!

I feel like the original disk zinesters would have been / are currently super excited about virtual reality. It used to be a sort of silly dream we had, taken seriously by the passionate few and now it’s almost within reach of all of us.

Access to this technology can be a huge challenge not only to create work for VR but to simply experience the work being done because the hardware is still developing. To everyone with a headset, or google cardboard, or super complicated Vive set up who has lugged their tech out into the world or so generously invited people into their home to share these experiences: I think we’ll look back and see that acts like these were a bigger part of the paradigm shift than we could have realized. So thank you :)

Since the company was founded in 2015, PLAY has worked with over 100 of the brightest and best creatives and produced 22 brand new PLAYs which have been performed to sell-out audiences at venues including The Old Red Lion, The Pleasance, Hackney Showroom, Live at Zedel and Paines Plough’s Roundabout.

The Subterranean Season will bookend VAULT Festival 2017, opening and closing London’s biggest arts festival. This is theatre at its freshest and most vital, brimming with bite, wit and charm.

January Company includes… Kate Kennedy, writer of Papatango Prize shortlisted THE WIN BIN (Old Red Lion). BBC Drama Room & Royal Court Studio Group’s, Miriam Battye.

“Seriously impressive. An extraordinary success.” – Ought To Be Clown’s Ian Foster (on PLAY’s season at VAULT Festival 2016)

“We are incredibly excited to be returning underground as part of VAULT Festival this January. It is a priviledge to be working with such an astonishingly talented company, who came together for the first time only days ago. Part of the joy of PLAY’s collaborative process is watching something unfurl so rapidly from nothing. As of yet, we have no idea what these plays will be about, but guaranteed they will be whip-smart, full of energy and the perfect antidote to the January blues!” – Rebecca Durbin, PLAY Theatre Company’s Artistic Director
