IOU Theatre "Rear View"

[Crossover]

I thought some may be interested to see the slightly unusual IOU "Rear View" bus - photo attached from part of its time at Halifax's Piece Hall over the last few days

Converted from a standard double decker, it now features tiered seating facing backwards, giving the audience a view out from the back of the bus, as part of a theatrical performance which takes to the streets. The audience hear the audio of the performance through headsets. When not in use, the equipment for the performances travels with the bus



The vehicle registration is G91 PES

IOU presented this piece of work at the Batley Festival last year. It's quite engaging, but not as site-specific as I had hoped.
