A History Of Fate is an interactive Performance artwork which invites audiences to become immersed in a human scaled version of a 5000 year-old board game, The Royal Game of Ur. Inspired by the real history of the once lost board game, players and participants acting as game pieces. Find that during their game they are addressed by an eerie voice, offering fortunes and life lessons based on the actions they make on the board. Commissioned by Marlowe Theatre as part of their ROAR development programme.
