Pag Naylor has been touring throughout Europe with Instant Theatre, a unique kind of collaboration between actors and the audience, for fifteen years, to great acclaim. He has worked with Word And Action, The Chicken Coop Three, and, for the last nine years, Pag's Instant Theatre, in which he directs and performs simultaneously.

Every Instant Theatre performance is created and acted out by the audience itself, without props or scenery, using the English that the students already know and understand. No two shows are ever the same. Each performance begins with the introduction of a theme appropriate to the age group and language ability, perhaps the story of somebody who finds a door to another world, a walk into a forest, a folk tale, or a detective story. Members of the audience then call out answers in English to questions relating to that theme. Every answer (sometimes after several more questions, if the answer does not seem to fit with the information so far) then becomes part of the story, which anyone is free to change at any time. When there is enough story to act out volunteers are asked to play the part of the props, scenery, and special effects like the weather as well as more conventional acting roles. They are helped by professional actors. Pag usually tours with one other actor. All performances take place in the Round, so no specialised venue is required. After the show teachers' notes are available for teachers who would like to try Instant Theatre themselves in the classroom.
