PlaystoSee is an online platform that brings together information about the international theatre scene.
Our aim is to promote global appreciation of the performing arts by encouraging keen and talented individuals to see and review theatre in their own region.
We are currently active in the United Kingdom and Czech Republic (Prague) and are expanding to provide coverage from other countries as our international team grows.
If you are a writer and would like to publish reviews, interviews or articles on our site please contact us at info@playstosee.com.
We would also like to hear from theatres and theatre companies about their productions and special events!
