Meet the (new) Directors ! As we come close to the end of 2025, it has been heart-warming and humbling to look back at the year behind us and see what a journey we’ve been on - from being awarded Multi Year Funding by Creative Scotland, to moving into our new home in St Oswald’s in Bruntsfield, the team, volunteers and community have pulled out all the stops, joining forces to bring us where we are today ! A huge thank you to everyone for making this a year to remember at Pianodrome. ✨ One of the very exciting developments which happened this year took place behind the scenes - Tim and Matt, founding Directors of The Pianodrome back in 2018, generously created space to welcome on board three new Directors - Emily, Tom and Shona.
We are honoured to be working together to bring you the best of what Pianodrome strives to offer - a welcoming community, wonderful events and workshops, creative energy, music and inspiration for all.
We are buzzing for the year to come and can’t wait to see you all at the Pianodrome ! 🎹🌟 Photo of Tom by

Piano Smashers, a powerful solo play about an unwanted inheritance is, at last, performing at Pianodrome. Get tickets on our what’s on page - link in bio.

In Piano Smashers a mother bequeaths her piano to her children in a will, but they really do not want it and all that it represents. This is a play about those things that we inherit and how we often fail to to recognise our right to reject them.

“And they agree, like all of us, to simply accept to receive the past.”

Inspired by the plays of Tim Crouch and the theories of Peter Brook and Bertolt Brecht, Piano Smashers debuted at Brighton Fringe in 2024 and went on to Ventnor and the PBH Free fringe in the same year.
It ran successfully at EdFinge 2025 at Surgeons’ Hall with SPACEuk, receiving four star review from Binge Fringe and Edinburgh Review. It was previously nominated for Best Performance at The Actors in Brighton and has played at The Cockpit Theatre in London in August 2024 and January
2025.

Piano Smashers was written by Rupert Page and Rob Thompson, both drama teachers who met at Bulmershe College H.E. in Reading in 1984.
They studied Film and Drama. Both have had long careers in education and theatre and have grown families. The play is a response to the appalling legacy, in terms of environment, economics and politics, their children’s generation will inherit.

“We want to give our children’s generation permission to smash up/reject what came before.” Said Rupert
