Pentabus: For Once…
A new play by award winning writer Tim Price

Inspired by a week spent in a rural market town and in particular a series of conversations had with the young people who live there.
“I roll down the window, I’m not sure why. But with the beenie on, and the boys, I wanted the whole town to see us. I wanted the whole town to lean out of their houses and see us. Just see us for once”

Pentabus Theatre believes in asking questions and telling stories that resonate with audiences locally, nationally and internationally. At the heart of this work is our rural location, which affords us a unique perspective on, and relationship to, the world. Therefore our mission is to pioneer engaging, provocative and surprising new work that connects people and places.
