Rock/Paper/Scissors

Three interlinked but standalone plays will tell the story of Sheffield’s oldest scissor manufacturer and the three generations who go to war over what happens to the factory site.

The centrepiece of the 50th Anniversary celebrations will see all three Sheffield spaces unite to stage playwright Chris Bush’s trilogy of plays Rock (Crucible), Paper (Lyceum), Scissors (Studio). In a theatrical first, the same cast perform in the Crucible, Lyceum and Studio simultaneously, dashing between scenes, when a character exits one stage, they arrive on another.
