Intermedial Play was a collaboration between Néill O’Dwyer (V-SENSE artist in residence) and Nicholas Johnson, assistant professor in Trinity College’s Department of Drama and secretary and co-director of the newly established Trinity Centre for Beckett Studies. Intermedial Play was the precursor, inspiration and catalyst of Virtual Play and Augmented Play.
