Our new-work powerhouse, ZOO Playground contains three small, but perfectly formed studios. Here we champion both emerging and established artists to present their new work. 2023 saw two shows pick up Fringe Firsts, a host of brilliant reviews and perhaps most importantly of all many of the show secure a feature beyond the festival.
