The company's work is based on a collaborative approach led by Jamie Fletcher and Dick Bonham. Working as a duo and with a range of artists from different diciplines PLaY has toured all over the UK performing in abandoned shops, train stations, city streets, parks and festivals, as well as receiving commissions and residences from some of the UK's most innovative arts centres and theatre venues, including Greenroom (Manchester), The Arches (Glasgow) and BAC, Battersea Arts Centre (London).

We have also led a number of artist development and mentoring programmes tailored to the needs of emerging theatre makers, designed to help them push their work into new and unexpected directions. These have included a residency at The Arches in Glasgow working with local emerging artists to produce a show together, and mentoring artists such as Kieran Hurley in the development of new performances. - Sept 2006 - PresentCreative Consultant / Pointed ArrowPointed Arrow created a range of performances and participatory projects in non-theatre spaces.
