Progress Theatre again
I’m working on some pieces for the foyer of this enterprising independent theatre again, to be shown during their annual “Writefest”.
Having attended their Summer Shakespeare – they put on Hamlet in the park, very atmospheric – I chose to use some quotes from this for two long banners which will form a contrast with the set of smaller ones next on the agenda. If you’re in Reading, do check out the programme. My show is on during October, for about a month in the leadup and during the production of the 7 winning one-act plays, dates for my show not finalised. Google Progress Theatre Reading.

Progress Theatre
This wonderful little independent theatre in Reading has |an annual ‘WriteFest’ – this year from 80+ entries of new writing, 7 excellent one-act plays were selected and I was in the audience for the excellent first night. I was privileged to put a show of a whole set of theatrically-realted work on for the month – it was great fun to do. See www.progresstheatre.co.uk for opening times. The exhibition is open until 30 November 2012. (I haven’t moved from Hants – my son & his wife spend all their spare time volunteering for Progress, and live nearby).
