Google Yoh TheatreAbout the show
Presented by Yoh Theatre, this student production stages thirty short plays in sixty minutes at The Great Hall. Each two-minute play is performed in random order, with an onstage sixty-minute timer keeping the ensemble honest. The show steps away from traditional theatre to involve audiences in a chaotic, spontaneous rendition drawn from comic, tragic, political, personal and abstract material. The result is an ensemble experience that gives audiences a hand in shaping their own evening. Suitable for ages 14 and over, with audience participation and strong language.
Why see this show?
Theatre that plays by genuinely different rules — thirty short plays, randomised order, a ticking clock and a live audience shaping proceedings. For those curious about what neo-futurist performance feels like in practice, this is a lively, low-cost entry point.
