Replay has traditionally been and is currently, one of the most active theatre companies in Northern Ireland. The company has a history of commissioning scripts from Northern Irish writers and has worked with both developing and established playwrights such as Marie Jones, Gary Mitchell, Damian Gorman, John McClelland, Brenda Winter and Rebecca Bartlett. Subjects covered range widely from curriculum based areas such as the Vikings in Ireland (for Primary Schools), to issues of bullying (for Primary and Secondary Schools) and drug abuse (for Secondary Schools). Where appropriate the company also produces existing work, which it considers relevant to young people in Northern Ireland. Replay places great importance in the professional standard and quality of its work, both on stage and off. This commitment has led it to become an 'Approved Manager' of the Independent Theatre Council, and to be nominated for a number of prestigious awards the most recent of which include: o Winner of Best Production (Small Organisation) 2001 Diversity 21 Awards for Shalom Belfast! by Rebecca Bartlett. o Nomination in the 1999 Belfast Arts Awards for the production Sometimes by Damian Gorman; o Nomination in the 1998 Belfast Arts Awards for the productions in 1997/98 of Sinking by Gary Mitchell and The Lost Child by Mike Kenny; o Nomination for a Special Judges' Award at the Irish Times/ESB Theatre Awards 1997 for the company's 'comprehensive approach to Theatre In Education'.
