Room to Escape is an interactive family theatre production and online presentation created by National Theatre Wales (NTW) in partnership with BBC Arts. Written by award-winning Welsh playwright Kelly Jones, the project was designed as a creative, imaginative, and “genre-defying” interactive piece of theatre.
I worked with each family holding workshops developing ideas and concepts to bring their individual stories to life. We worked closely (over zoom) to imagine sets, props, costumes of which I could make or design elements and send a box to each family. They also made and sourced things from their homes to create worlds within their living rooms. It was a project where creative visual images and story telling was at the forefront of our focus and our mission was that the families were also performers and makers in their own right.
