Jamie Fletcher

 “Brilliant and thought provoking” –The Scotsman

PLaY is a collaboration between Leeds based theatre-makers Jamie Fletcher and Dick Bonham. Their first piece was an outdoor performance entitled Odd Shoes that was first created for Manchester’s Greenroom and has successfully toured to a number of festivals and venues. Since then they have been creating multi-disciplinary contemporary performances for different audiences in both theatre and non-theatre spaces.

Jamie and Dick have had commissions and residencies from some of the UK's finest theatre venues and arts centres. They also lead a variety of education based programmes in schools, universities, community centres, as well as artistic mentoring and developmental workshops for emerging artists and performers.

Their work emerges from the spaces it takes place in, and from the audiences who come to see it. It establishes different narratives and stories, then allows them to hang together, toying with the connections between seemingly unconnected moments and incidents and the “liveness” of a particular performance. At the same time they never forget or snub our audience; the work is funny, engaging and warm, and is rooted in contemporary issues and concerns. 

Both Jamie and Dick create a varied body of work both as individuals and with other companies. Dick is the co-artistic director of Imprint Theatre Company and Jamie is part of a core-team of artists with Pointed Arrow, making journeys and performances.
