New monthly event for writers and actors in Worthing
Guesting last night at Troubadour Theatre’s Worthing Scratch Night at the Charles Dickens pub, featuring a cast of actors performing extracts from seven new plays for writer feedback. Hosted by Lin Robinson.
Drew Rumble by Shari Auldyth
An affectionate pastiche of those 1950s radio thrillers, with great character and accent opportunities for voice artists. Pacey and entertaining.
Purgatory by Beth Bayes
A young ex-couple still live together – and it’s that awkward and pivotal moment where the new girlfriend and the ex meet. Natural dialogue and flawed characters.
Result by Sarah Agnew
Crisis for a quirky set of colleagues at a failing lads’ mag. Want to know what happens next!
The Bench by Crayford Howard
All those memorial park benches have their back stories and secrets – what if you discover your mother’s?!
Bite by Rebecca Frew
Two women gearing up for a Gothic themed hen night in a comedy short with a little twist (no spoilers!).
Inrush by Norman Miller
A small coastal community is gradually being consumed by the sea. Great role for an elder actress especially, in this full length play.
Enemy of the State by Jacqueline Bayes
A look at coercive control and Draconian powers in extreme times – a sense of menace and helplessness in the face of the law and at home.
Good to see so much happening at this new monthly event for writers and actors in Worthing, and we’re looking forward to more.
