play command doesn't work when inside of an existing sbt project

So I have an existing sbt project setup:

common
services
project/build.scala
build.sbt

Now when inside this folder, I want to create a play application called 'web'.

I get this error:

error] Not a valid command: new (similar: set)
[error] Not a valid project ID: new
[error] Expected ':' (if selecting a configuration)
[error] Not a valid key: new (similar: name, run, runner)
[error] new
[error]    ^

The play command works just fine if I try the same thing in a new folder.

How can I get the play command to work inside of an existing sbt project?

I'm using sbt .13

Why not create the project outside of the current structure, then move the created directory where you want it to live?
