The Playground Theatre & DNA Studio present
RTFM (Read The F***ing Manual)
23 - 25 MAY
Created by DNA Studio
Performed by Helena Harrison and Philip Honeywell
In the heart of chaos and conflict, against the backdrop of war, a couple embark on a seemingly ordinary task: assembling an IKEA wardrobe.
Through the act of building – their furniture, life, and relationship – they discover that even in the darkest moments, there's hope. The audience, assuming the role of a supportive community, becomes integral to the couple's journey, and with new spatial sound technology, sound takes on a living presence in the story.
RTFM investigates the juxtaposition of build and loss, offering a powerful exploration of humans' resilience in the face of adversity.
