Improvisational theatre based on real stories.

Playback is an original form of improvised theatre in which audience members tell stories from their lives, and see them re-enacted on the spot.

Everyone has a story to tell, and in Playback Theatre some are lighthearted and humorous, while others are moving, inspirational and powerful.

During the course we’ll explore the skills and forms that allow a group to transform real stories into theatre in the moment.
