PLAY LAB: A Research and Development Project exploring Game and Theatre About B-Arts B Arts are artists, producers and theatre makers based in Hartshill Road, Stoke. We have a 31 year history of creating art in parks, city streets, village halls and beaches as opposed to traditional cultural venues.
