Regeneration
Award-winning theatre company, and associate artists at the Bike Shed Theatre, Write By Numbers return to Exeter with their play Regeneration, exploring urban regeneration, gentrification and how we might create the cities of the future. This multi-stranded epic story mixes real stories of regeneration with imagined ones in a playful and urgent production which is touring England in 2016.
It’s Brixton in 1981 and a family’s home is about to be repossessed. It’s Leeds in 2017 and an architect has designed the tallest building the city has ever seen. It’s Newfoundland in 1903 and a man is about to start a journey that will take him (and his house) across continents and the 20th century. And, on stage in Exeter in 2016, Write By Numbers who have worked on regeneration projects across England want to know if they’re part of the solution – or the problem.
