WRITE NOW: THE PLAYS!
Write Now are delighted to announce that the plays to participate in this summer’s festival have been chosen and invited.
The EIGHT plays which will come together to make the First Annual Liverpool One Act play Festival running from Friday 26 March to Saturday 03 April 2010 will be:
The Dressmaker’s Gift by Anita Franklin
The Guy’s A Monster by Dave Young
Heart by James Stewart
I’m Ed Caesar by Nick Brelsford
The Person Without by Jenny Yates
Pippin Hal by Paul Williams
Second’s Out by Helen East
Under My Skin by Rob Johnston
Eight original, exciting, new pieces of theatre to add that extra sparkle to the Easter weekend!
In addition, we are delighted to announce that we have developed a play text workshop strand in conjunction with Everyman Playhouse Literacy Team which will see a one-day event for those submissions who didn’t make the final eight, and two workshop / rehearsed reading events during the festival for:
No Smoke by Annabel Dearing
Everything Must Go by Graham Chadwick
WE WANT YOU TO BE INVOLVED!
Too long the word on the grapevine has been one of not enough work or recognition for Fringe theatre in Liverpool, well, here is an event that we hope will rectify that. But it will only work if you get in involved…
Directors
We are currently seeking one or two directors to assist in the delivery of the EIGHT plays. Your chance to show the city of Liverpool what you can do! Email your current CV to info@writenowfestival.co.uk to contact Write Now if you’d like an introduction to participating writes.
Actors, Stage Managers and Technicians
We are also seeking to cast and crew the shows!
Write Now are hosting a network casting and crew event called the ‘Meet’ Market on:-
Wednesday 20 January 2010 from 5 – 9pm
at The Contemporary Urban Centre

This will be a Networking event where interested parties can meet and talk to the writers and directors.
