Attic Theatre Company will present two evenings of staged readings of five new short plays in Playfest at Wimbledon Library on 11 and 12 October, produced in association with Wimbledon Bookfest.
The plays were selected by Attic's artistic director Louise Hill following a call for anonymous submissions earlier this year.
The five selected plays are:
- Pitted by Troodie Mootz
- Reunion by Richard Fitchett
- Warm, Hot, Getting Hotter by Lou Treleaven
- Lemons by James Withey
- Fountain of Youth by Chris Holbrook
Attic considers Playfest to be a vital part of its process of commissioning playwrights and works from first draft to full production, enabling it to forge new relationships with writers.
Attic’s next main stage production, Tabitha Mortiboy’s A Certain Minor Light, originated in a staged reading at Playfest in 2012.
Tickets are £10 including a welcome drink. After the performance on 11 October, there will be a chance to discuss the plays with all five writers, the cast of each play and artistic director Louise Hill.
