PLAYlist: The World Tour
Jan12
A new Christmas edition of PLAYlist will be at Theatre503 from 14th to 22nd December. There are new plays inspired by festive tunes from: Zoe Cooper, Poppy Corbett, Inua Ellams, Joel Horwood, Bethan Marlow, Sian Owen, Dan Rebellato and Al Smith. The antidote to Christmas panto, and the perfect alterntive night out.
PLAYlist is back! Following huge success at Latitude, our festival edition of the sell-out event returns to Theatre503. We present short plays by a selection of the most exciting emerging and established writers around. The perfect theatrical mix-tape: some writers you know, some writers you don’t, but all writers you’ll end up loving. Playful, poignant, or a puzzle to be solved, the only rule is that each play is no longer than the piece of music that inspired it. A feast of fearless new writing in beautiful, bite-size chunks.
“Battersea’s Theatre503 scored highly with nine 15-minute playlets based on songs being performed elsewhere at the festival – sweet stories of love and loss” Guardian’s Latitude Festival blog
Plays by Danny Kanaber, Tom Morton Smith, Hannah Mulder, Ben Ockrent, Sian Owen, Lola Stephenson, Colin Teevan, Jack Thorne and Rosalind Wyllie.
Cast: Ayesha Antoine, Simon Darwen, Georgia King, Rob Ostlere and Edmund Wiseman.

The next PLAYlist will be at Theatre503 on Saturday May 8th. It’s a PLAYlist:shuffle, so the writers can choose any song that inspires them, and write a play about it. The only rule is the play must be as long as or shorter than the song that insppired it. Go to the contact page and get in touch to get involved, or click here for information about tickets.
