TheatreCraft took place for the third year running between Monday 27th March and Friday 7th April 2017.
Six young playwrights and three emerging directors aged 18-25 came together for two weeks to explore how to improve their craft. Mentored by directors John Hoggarth, and Ria Parry (Iron Shoes) and writers Tom Brennan and Sam Potter, the group had the invaluable opportunity to try out ideas with a professional acting ensemble.
The project is part of our ongoing mission to support young artists at a vital early stage of their career. This project brings two key roles centre stage, offering talented young writers and directors two weeks of immersive creativity and the chance to focus on developing their work.
Extracts from the following plays were performed on Friday 7 April:
Threadbare by Maddy Barnes
Blinded by Bertie Darrell
Wine Face by Jade Stockley
Golden Years by Elspeth McColl
Would You Mind? by Imogen Palmer
E8 by Marika McKennell
