The norfox Young People’s Theatre Company, Manchester Library Theatre’s resident company which gives young people aged between 15-18 the chance to experience a professional theatre environment, returns to the city’s Metropolitan University Capitol Theatre in April with 140 Characters.
The piece has been devised by members of the company, and will be directed by Rosie Stuart and Elisa Amesbury.
140 Characters explores the darkness, delights, and mysteries of the world at their fingertips. Audience members can help untangle the wires and even assist shaping the production via Twitter by submitting stories—in no more than 140 characters, of course—using the hashtag #StoriesGoViral.
The directors will be using some of the submitted stories to develop the production and inspire storylines in it.
