Totally amazing news....read! read!

Here's some totally amazing news ... my play, Sunset Stripped, has been accepted!

I submitted a script to the Autumn Plays coming up at Cheltenham's Everyman Studio Theatre early next month, and while I was away soaking up the sun in Italy, I had an e-mail saying mine was one of the four accepted.

This is ground-shaking news for me -- I've been honing my playwriting skills for some three years now, and this is the first time work of mine has actually been performed.

The Autumn Plays link in to The Everyman’s Writers Lab which has some 20 playwrights; every year, the Studio Theatre is given over to putting on plays written by us.

A professional director and professional actors get a script in the morning and have all day to rehearse. The plays are then performed script-in-hand in the evening.

Here are the plays and dates:

THE LAST SUPPER OF PAOLO VERONESE – Martin Lytton (Weds 13^th Oct)

MABON ROSE – Glenn Andrews (Thurs 14^th Oct)

SUNSET STRIPPED – Swithin Fry (Fri 15^th Oct)

THE QUESTION OF DOG – Alice Jolly (Sat 16^th Oct)

I haven't had times yet, but I'll blog about ASAP.

If you missed Tuesday's show with playwright Martin Lytton and actor Gregor Hunt talking about Martin’s thought-provokingly controversial play Lazarus (selected for the Writers Lab plays last year] you can catch it again at 3 PM this Sunday, September 26.

The final Art Lot Everyman Series on Tuesday, October 5, will hopefully be interviews with the four directors producing this year's Autumn Plays.

I shall be asking them what attracted them to the play; and to say what they feel makes that particular play a ‘don't miss’ event.

This will go out on Tuesday, October 5 at four, all ready for the start of the plays the following week beginning October 11. This is repeated on Sunday, October 10 at three.

If you want to know more about these plays, you can phone the Everyman box office on (01242) 572573     ... and if you would like to contact any of the people interviewed In the Art Lot Everyman series, then telephone the same number and ask to speak to Everyman’s Director of Outreach Paul Milton.
