Tao of Glass

Tao Of Glass is a play in London that blends theatre, music, and personal memoir into a single live performance. Created by director Phelim McDermott and composer Philip Glass, the production draws on decades of collaboration between the two artists and weaves Glass's minimalist compositions into a theatrical narrative about creativity, time, and the nature of making art. McDermott performs alongside a live score, making the piece as much a concert experience as a dramatic one. It sits within a broader tradition of London theatre that pushes at the boundaries of what a play can be.

Audiences follow McDermott on stage as he reflects on his long working relationship with Glass, using puppetry, storytelling, and live music to build the piece in real time. The production is suited to theatregoers with an interest in contemporary performance, experimental work, or the music of Philip Glass. Tickets are available for a limited run, with performances scheduled across selected dates. Entry is to a single seated performance, and bookers should check the current schedule for available dates and seating options before reserving a place.
