“Brilliant and thought  provoking” – The Scotsman

PLaY creates a range of contemporary performances and installations for different audiences in both theatre and public spaces. The company’s process is basedon a collaborative approach between Artistic Directors Jamie Fletcher and Dick Bonham. Together they conceive, develop and direct all PLaY’s shows, installations and education programmes. They have received commissions and had residencies from some of the UK's most innovative theatre venues, including BAC in London, Greenroom in Manchester and The Arches in Glasgow. Based in Leeds we have traveled across the UK, performing in abandoned shops, train stations, city streets, parks and festivals, as well as arts centres and theatre spaces. 

PLaY offers a variety of theatre and music educational workshops in schools, universities, arts venues and local communities. We cover a broad range of topics for all ages and abilities, from performance techniques with disadvantaged young people working towards their Arts Awards, to percussion workshops for people with special educational needs. 

We have also led a number of artist development and mentoring programmes tailored to the needs of emerging theatre makers, designed to help them push their work into new and unexpected directions. These have included a residency at The Arches in Glasgow working with local emerging artists to produce a show together, and mentoring artists such as Kieran Hurley in the development of new performances.
