One of three co-directors of Coney, a company which creates responsive theatre, adventure and play, Tom discusses the powerful potential of offering theatre audiences agency over how the story ends, inviting them to co-create the theatrical experience. @Tom_Bowtell is one of three co-directors of Coney, a UK network of artists and makers who create stories, adventure and play.
