Live Drafts: Lifegame
23 October 2026
ABOUT
Every night on stage, a surprise guest sits down with the cast.
They’ve never met before. By the end of the show, their life has been made into theatre.
These are real stories spun live into sketches, songs and scenes. Part improv show, part chat show, Lifegame is about the small things that make us who we are and the seismic moments that change everything.
Since 1998, Lifegame has played to thousands across the globe. Now, Lifegame is back with a new collaboration bringing together award-winning companies Improbable (My Neighbour Totoro) and Good Chance (The Jungle).
This Live Draft is your chance to see the work as it evolves. You can help shape the production that will tour in 2027 and beyond.
With special thanks to our Live Draft supporters, Fiona Clements, Gabriel Vogt, and those who wish to remain anonymous.

LIVE DRAFTS
Live Drafts is theatre in the making: shows at their earliest possible stage.
Theatre can't be finished until it's met an audience. This is where you come in. Go and see something nobody's seen before. It might be brilliant. Some bits might not work. That's the deal.
Then: off to the bar to chat about it. And it's only a tenner.
