Have you ever wondered how theatrical performance is born? Do you think the play is all about the actors repeating their lines over and over like mantras in the deepest nooks of the theatre behind closed doors, the director speaking in an authoritative
tone, magically self-stitched costumes, and a pensive composer working on the soundtrack? Nothing of the kind.

Three actors, one playwright, one table and three chairs.
Welcome to the process of producing a play.
How and what does theatre talk about? Critics in art websites, viewers in the theatre cloakroom, directors interviewed in shows
on culture would say “about everything”. But we say – about nothing.
