One new theatre, three experts, three playwrights and you
As the Bush prepares to open the doors of its new home in Autumn this year, they’re asking audiences to test drive the space and be a part of its transformation from library to theatre.
Over the course of one evening, you’ll see three short plays by three brilliant Bush playwrights performed in three different layouts. Each play will be inspired by nine curious props chosen by the National Theatre and a set of challenging stage directions created by Alan Ayckbourn, Michael Grandage and Bush Artistic Director Josie Rourke.
As the stage transforms and the seats move around, they’ll ask you to feedback your views from the stalls – and to put to test other areas of the building from the backstage to the bar.
