SHIFT + SPACE | Play Upon Me at Theatre Deli

Snow lies on the ground. Ahead, two roads diverge. What would you like to do? 

Play Upon Me is something new - a playable play. It exists in the space between scripted theatre and storytelling games. The game is led by the First Player, a narrator / performer who describes the world, responds to your choices, and voices the non-player characters. As an audience member, you’ll take an active part in building the collaborative narrative, and by the end of the night we will have created an entirely new story which is entirely ours. 

Play Upon Me uses a new gameplay system, A Coin & A Candle, developed for this production. The show is a radical experiment, an adventure, which might just blow the top off our understanding of what theatre is and what it could be. 

So. 

It’s a harsh world. Take a deep breath. 

It’s time to tell our story.
