see your work performed by professional actors
This year we continued our intergenerational series with a creative writing project exploring how stories can promote positive conversations and relationships across the community. The project brought together young people aged 16 – 24 and adults 60 and above to take part in a series of weekly writing workshops led by Beth Flintoff.
Over the course of seven weeks, the group explored the fundamentals of writing for stage, received 1:1 script development support and created 18 short plays which we performed by a company of professional actors and directed by Anna Roberts.
