Press Play Season

A Season of New Digital Performances
Available online - Monday 19 October until Monday 2 November 2020
From the award winning duo Popelei comes Press Play, a two week season of new audio plays, short films and community digital projects. Written and performed by an acclaimed and international female-led creative team, these six original pieces explore connection and empowerment in our current uncertain times of isolation.
Featuring new work from babirye bukilwa (Women’s Prize for Playwriting 2020 finalist and Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting Shortlist 2019) and Motswana poet Tjawangwa Dema (winner of Sillerman Prize for African Poetry) and starring Natasha Magigi (Twelfth Night, The Globe) and Joyce Greenaway (Truth and Reconciliation, Royal Court Theatre), Press Play is a project curated to champion female voices, and offer accessible and exciting theatre while the UK cultural landscape continues to operate under survival mode.
Press Play and forget about the world. Even if it’s only for ten minutes.
