Playwriting Festival: Thriller & Comedy Runners-up

Description

The Playwriting Festival is a celebration of the fantastic submissions made to the Norwich Players Theatre Company, earlier this year, as part of our newly programmed Playwriting Competition. Join us, as we celebrate local talent!

We invite you to join us on Sunday the 13th July for the first of two exciting and enjoyable presentations of the work of these talented authors from Norfolk and Suffolk. We had an overwhelming number of entries to the competition, so the decision was made to present not only the winning entries, but four of the amazing runners-up as rehearsed readings in our newest space, Kemps Rest.

The afternoon’s two readings are:
3pm – The Sentences by Billy White
Runner-up in the Crime/Thriller category

3:30pm – Oops! I Swallowed A Pipe Bomb! by Alex Wiseman
Runner-up in the Comedy/Farce category

After the readings the theatre bar will be open and the main stage presentation of the winning entries follows at 5pm. Tickets for this event can be purchased separately at £5 each.
The other two readings will take place on July 20th, tickets available separately.


The Playwriting Festival covers two days of performances over two Sundays in July (13th and 20th). The plays written by the winners in each category will be performed on the Maddermarket Theatre main stage and the work of runners up will be presented as acted readings in Kemp’s Rest (off the Maddermarket front courtyard).

As well as the category winners and runners-up, we are acknowledging some strong monologues that were entered by arranging a workshop reading for them. Each participant will have the opportunity to explore the text and breathe life into new writing.
A hands on experience!
Please email Joe Flatt at Joe.flatt@maddermarket.org to book a place for either session.
