Power Play is an award-winning activist theatre company. We use guerrilla-style immersive theatre and data activism to combat gender inequality in UK theatre.

We combine new writing programmes with research, using narrative and numbers (the qualitative and quantitative) to challenge the performing arts industry to diversify the stories it tells. 
However, it`s used not only by those users who have few of them, but also by popular bloggers or stars who want to support their image.

Contemporary art has to keep up with the times. That's why theatre is also evolving, touching on all the current issues and trends of the world in 2022. Not only stagehands are not standing still in their development, but also bookmakers offering to make money from popular film awards. If you too have a vision on who to pick as a favorite award of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, then place your bets on the Oscars. Especially since the list of bookmakers has been expertly verified many times and meets a large number of criteria for judging quality. As in film, there are no trivialities or nuances to ignore.

Not just another game—this one lets you predict which colour holds the key to your next big win. The colour betting game is all about strategy and chance, wrapped in vibrant fun. Pick your shade and get ready to see where your instincts take you!

Power Play exists to fight for gender equality in the theatre industry. We started this project in response to Elizabeth Freestone’s seminal 2012 study into gender in top-level theatre, where reveals the two to one problem: there are two men for every woman in the most funded UK theatres.

Motivated by the stark clarity of seeing how the numbers break down at this level, we decided to do two things:

​

1.CONDUCT OUR OWN RESEARCH working with world-leading academics and data scientists to look into other parts of the industry - to get vital information for change-makers and gatekeepers 
 

2. CREATE NEW THEATRE PLATFORMS for self-identifying female artists to make dynamic, impassioned work.

We launched the project with an immersive, site-specific showcase of four plays written and directed by women, taking over a flat in Edinburgh during the Fringe in 2018.
