Castaway Stan: An award winning play based on Desert Island Discs

  • Matt Armitage
I wrote and directed a play in Dublin winning 2 national drama awards (Best new Writing, Best Choreography). This show combines music and movement to create a completely new immersive experience. The play is based the BBC Radio 4 show, Desert Island Discs. It follows the story of Stan who finds himself on radio, selecting 8 songs he would take to a desert island. Through each song we see his story unfold, from discovering music from his dad's record player, to finding his first love. All the audio is played to the audience through silent disco headsets- offering new and immersive theatre.
