The Play's the Thing

A rehearsal takes a dramatic turn.

A friendship implodes in real time.

A misunderstanding has catastrophic consequences.Maisie has decided to stage a play about her friends.

And it isn’t flattering.

As accusations are hurled and tears are shed, our characters take a trip down the rabbit hole as they endeavour to find an answer to the impossible question: can we find truth in the theatre? And if so, who has the right to tell it?In Part One, we see the play rehearsed.

In Part Two, we see the aftermath of the play's opening night.

And in Part Three, we watch two unassuming audience members try and process what they have seen.The Play’s the Thing is a story in three parts about representation, (mis)communication, art, and artifice.

It’s a love letter to pub theatre, in all its messiness, contradiction, silliness, and joy.
