"An adventure playground that doubles as an art installation has reopened for
the summer at the Southbank Centre in London.

Replay is a space built entirely out of waste materials that have been given a
new lease of life by the Hull-based Herd Theatre. “We reached out to theatres,
events companies, factories and businesses and asked them if they had anything
that was headed for the bin or collecting dust on a shelf,” said Ruby Thompson
from Herd.

“The response was huge. We were given backdrops from fashion shows like
Alexander McQueen, props from TV adverts, fabric from bag manufacturers,
hundreds of tubes from a bandage factory, and the actual red carpet from the
Bafta Television Awards.”"

Share and enjoy,
