What is
Playback Theatre?
Playback Theatre brings to life personal stories for you to reflect upon and enjoy
In Story-Lane Playback Theatre events, audience members share thoughts, feelings, memories and watch them being transformed into improvised theatre pieces. It can be funny or sad, enlightening and powerful, but above all fun and exciting! Playback theatre creates space for sharing, connecting, expressing and playing. This art-form was invented in 1975 by Jonathan Fox, it corresponds with psychodrama, oral traditions, storytelling, theatre and much more.
