New showcase night for female playwrights - starting October in Whitstable

I am starting a new showcase night for female playwrights at the Horsebridge Centre in Whitstable in October and would love to see some Meejahub people there if you can make it! 

 

She Writes is a showcase night of short plays by women including a poetry open mic slot (open to male and female poets), launching at the Horsebridge Centre in Whitstable, Kent on 12 October, and returning on 7 December.

 

Only 17 percent of performed UK plays are currently written by women and I run an organisation - 17Percent - which aims to improve on that by presenting a regular night of short plays written exclusively by women.

 

The first two nights in the series are themed around a meal. Up to 10 short new plays will be showcased in a rehearsed reading, and we are looking for submissions featuring no more than 4 actors of up to 6 minutes long. The plays should fit into one of the categories of 'Starter', 'Main', or 'Dessert'.

 

We are also looking for local poets to round off our literary meal, in an open mic slot with up to 3 poems on the theme of 'Coffee and Cheese'.

 

Come and join us for a convivial evening where our domestic goddesses will bite back! More info - http://shewrites.blogspot.com
