title:  The Full Story

The whole eco: Jellyfish Theatre being built from recycled materials and commissioning ecological plays: OIKOS - 26 Aug - 18 Sept and PROTOZOA - 23 Sept - 9 Oct


The Jellyfish Theatre is a new theatre venue being built over the summer made entirely from recycled and reclaimed materials.

The theatre will host workshops, tours and exhibitions before opening as a 100-seat theatre between 26 August and 9 October.

Playwrights Kay Adshead and Simon Wu are writing environmentally-themed plays specially for the theatre.

Simon Wu's play OIKOS runs from 26 August - 18 September. Kay Adshead's play, PROTOZOA runs from 23 September - 9 October.

The Red Room, in association with The Architecture Foundation, has commissioned architect Martin Kaltwasser to create the theatre on a public playground on Union Street, Southwark, in London.

A temporary structure, The Jellyfish Theatre will be made of materials from all sources: junked theatre sets, building sites, Covent Garden market pallets, old kitchen units that the public bring along. There will even be a wall made from disused watercooler bottles that are decorated by local schools and included in the building. The structure will be dismantled in October.
