Oxford’s new-writing night: watch rehearsed readings of two brand new plays, directed by John Retallack. Each script is brought to life by a cast of professional actors.
New writing is precarious in the current climate, and we are thrilled to support emerging artists with staged play readings. Join us for a night of great theatre, by two outstanding up-and-coming playwrights.
This evening’s schedule:
My Name Is Sandra by Andrea Orton (30mins)
INTERVAL – discussion and networking.
Fan/dom by Edward Rowett (1 hour)
