The scripts are chosen!! All we need now is a fine cast of actors and 4 top-notch directors…
Page to Stage comprises directed, rehearsed readings of four new theatre scripts, followed by feedback from an industry panel. Cast and director meet on the night, with an hour to rehearse. The event allows plenty of opportunity to meet people (including a venue with all-day menu, cask ales etc.). As this is a networking evening, run on a voluntary basis, all roles are unpaid.
See below for play summaries and casting breakdowns. Applications welcome from all backgrounds.

Hi – I’d like to be considered for Mark. I’ve just finished at Theatre503 where I played a lord breaking up with my feisty Brazilian wife, whilst standing in a bin?
