play. doesn’t try to impress, it tries to awaken. It creates space where something softer stirs: a loosened breath and uncurated laughter. It gently nudges us back to instinct: to play for its own sake, to laugh too loudly, to explore without a plan, to connect without rehearsal🎈

Robbie’s masterful performance-making single-handedly eradicated my fear of interactive theatre, by far the most fun I’ve had at a theatre show. Thank you for such an amazing experience, not only in creating such a fun and enjoyable show to experience, but also re-igniting the audience’s passion for play, and for uniquely adding another layer of value in being the catalyst for new friendship connections amongst audience members through the shared games at the end of the show!

The world needs more play, and this 'play' is a delightful depiction of why, as well as a playful exploration of how. Above all, it was a beautiful, heartfelt and highly relatable poetic journey through the role of play in Robbie's life, and a reminder that the journey isn't over for any of us.

Robbie presents an authentic and unique bid for shared connection and fun in "play". A beautiful, whimsical view into what play means to each of us and how quickly a room full of strangers can acess their inner child and play once again.

Great fun.

Quirky. Upbeat. Interactive. ‘Play’ encourages us to think about how sometimes what we leave behind is the very same thing that we need to reconnect with in order to heal.

Picture Wile E. Coyote stepping out from a cliff, and hovering, unaffected by gravity, for he hasn’t yet noticed he’s about to fall. But instead of falling to his doom, his mid-air strides carry him accross the canyon and to safety - In “play.” Robbie boldly balances the fate of the show on the initiative of the audience, but without fail the crowd is moved to save him. It’s astonishing how quickly Robbie inspires his audience of grown-ups to (gasp) have fun - often without a single word.

The enthusiasm behind this show made it captivating to watch! Its intimate setting felt less like a performance and more like an invitation to be present, curious explore together the nature of play and the obstacles to connection we place in our own way. "Play." doesn't rely on gimmicks or fancy tricks to wow the audience, and as a result stays relatable while touching on some poignant facets of being human. All without taking itself too seriously -- a really unique and authentic show, bravo!

Stories of play were woven into a surprising, intimate and interactive show. Fun! 🤩
