Neil Noon discussed the New Views playwriting event organised by the National Theatre.

Thomas and Philippa preparing to present another season of their Acting From the Script workshop programme at the New Venture Theatre.

We read an extract from Elysa’s new work in progress, The Riddle – an intriguing mystery featuring nuns, a medium, a stolen painting, possibly steampunk, timeslips … Potentially a BBC radio drama series?

And Phil Tong presented an extract from his full length play. The Furrow, inspired by a Paula Rego painting Paula’s Children, was a runner up for the Mercury Prize. A modern Greek-style tragedy in very short, punchy one liners with scope for a great soundscape as a massive unseen household prepares for a big wedding.
