PREVIEW: Short Play Festival 2017

A selection of new writing over six new and diverse plays.

New Venture Theatre’s Short Play Festival runs from Friday July 21 to Saturday July 29, 2017.

Six new writers have been selected to each produce a 15-20 minute long play. They are Michelle Donkin, Sarah Charsley, Amy Onyett, Charly Sommers, Sam Chittenden and Nick Richards.

They were all guided through an editorial process by two experienced and professional writers.

The plays are now in the hands of six selected new directors; Erica Fletcher, Sabrina Giles, James Macauley, Jeremy Crow, Emmie Spencer and Tom Slater-Hyndman.

All the writers, directors and their mentors have strong connections with the New Venture Theatre in Brighton.
