The Brighton Festival Fringe offers opportunities for playwrights
© Bart Rybaczewski
The Hive, a new Brighton Fringe Venue, is looking for writers to provide material for an new project being launched at this year’s Brighton Festival.
Radio City Theatre is a repertory company of actors and sound effect people who perform in front of a microphone – and a live audience – in the tradition of radio theatre, but with new writing from new talent from across the country.
The Hive is looking for short pieces varying between five and 30 minutes in length that will respond well to the radio theatre treatment: your piece can be comic, tragic, historical, futuristic or fantastical - and it must feature sound effects.
But time is of the essence, as you need to submit your scripts by email no later than Monday April 6th 2009.
If your piece has been chosen, you will hear from the Hive by Friday April 17th.
The complete production will run at The Hive in Hove on the weekend of May 3rd and 4th, and on the weekend of May 24 and 25th.
Each full performance will last two hours, and will feature warm-up acts, sound effects, and continuity announcements, in the tradition of radio theatre.
Actors will be cast according to availability and fitness, before getting together for a three-hour rehearsal on the day of performance (a free lunch will be thrown in). It’s flying-by-the-seat-of-your-pants theatre – complete with sound effects and limitless imagination!
