Play In A Week, based in fully accessible Nomad Theatre in East Horsley, Surrey, is designed to ‘let loose’ the talents of all involved regardless of disability. Over forty disabled people of all ages come together each July to rehearse and perform a play in just one week. The individuals involved have the opportunity to input their own ideas and the roles are tailored to their individual inter

ests and capabilities. We have found that Play In A Week benefits the participants enormously in a myriad of different ways; including helping them to develop self- confidence, enhancing their interpersonal skills and contributing to the development of emotional maturity. It also provides numerous opportunities for creative self-expression and lots of fun for all involved. Volunteers (also numbering around 40) have a very important role during the week – assisting and supporting disabled performers both on and off-stage, providing refreshments, making costumes, building the set and providing sound, lighting and all the other off stage jobs that make theatre happen.

What we do...

Play In A Week is an annual week-long fully inclusive project, which enables adult actors with learning and/or physical disabilities to enjoy the magic and benefits of participating in a theatre show and putting on public performances in a real theatre.

Play In A Week has been held in the southeast of England for 21 years, and is open to all.

Starting on a Monday morning each July, between 40 and 50 enthusiastic and talented participants, a raft of volunteer helpers, along with a team of specialist professionals start work at the Nomad Theatre in East Horsley.

The actors work hard everyday throughout the week to rehearse, learning lines, songs and dance routines from scratch. There are no “limitations” on who can be an actor at Play In A Week other than you have to be over 17 years of age. Everyone is welcome regardless of (dis)ability.
