“A beautifully designed masterpiece in engineering… a significant breakthrough in theatre technology.”
The Stage
Roundabout is Paines Plough’s beautiful new portable in-the-round theatre. It’s a completely self-contained 168-seat auditorium that flat packs into a single lorry and can pop up anywhere from theatres to school halls, sports centres, warehouses, car parks and fields.
We built Roundabout to enable us to tour to places that don’t have theatres. For the next decade Roundabout will travel the length and breadth of the UK bringing the nation’s best playwrights and a thrilling theatrical experience to audiences everywhere.
Roundabout was designed by Lucy Osborne and Emma Chapman at Studio Three Sixty in collaboration with Charcoalblue and Howard Eaton.

“Roundabout is a beautiful, magical space. Hidden tech make it Turkish-bath-tranquil but with circus-tent-cheek. Aces.”

We are the nation’s rural theatre company.
Our mission is to develop and produce quality new theatre about the contemporary rural world. To tour the country with plays that have local impact and national resonance. To turn up in village halls, theatres and people’s digital backyards, connecting audiences nationwide.
“The excellent touring company Pentabus” The Guardian
Since 1974 we’ve produced 150 new plays, supported 100 playwrights and reached over half a million audience members. We’ve won awards, pioneered live-streaming and developed a ground-breaking initiative to nurture young writers from rural backgrounds.
Our plans for the future will see us tour further than ever before, work with new and established playwrights, extend our young writers programme and continue to push at the boundaries of what theatre can be.
Pentabus is a registered charity (number 287909).
We rely on the generosity of our donors, small and large,
to help us to make brilliant new theatre.
