Rob Drummond Plays with Participation : Bullet Catch; Wallace; The Majority; Top Table; Eulogy; Rolls in Their Pockets

Written (and occasionally performed) by Rob Drummond in collaboration with director David Overend, these scripts are a record of a long-term artistic partnership. From the award-winning magic of Bullet Catch (the Arches, 2012), to the audience votes of The Majority (National Theatre of Great Britain, 2017), these six plays open up a space for improvisation and participation, and a range of responses and reactions from the audience.


The collection includes four previously unpublished scripts along with up-to-date versions of their most successful productions. With introductory essays and in-text commentary by both the writer and director, this is a valuable resource for practitioners, students, and scholars of contemporary British theatre.

“Remarkable, multilayered and utterly gripping.” —The Guardian (on Bullet Catch)

“A startlingly deep reflection on the mysterious relationship between performance and despair.” —The Scotsman (on Bullet Catch)
