Corby 360 Short VR Plays

In Autumn 2020, a group of local writers and directors worked together to create a series of brand new 10 minute plays… with a difference… these plays are captured in 360-degree virtual reality and are set in locations throughout Corby and Kettering.

Join us in person at the Corby 360 launch on Wed 9 Feb for the first unveiling of this exciting new work. See below for a schedule of the evening and more information about the short plays.
