WRiTEON’s 60-Second Plays

WRiTEON is an open scriptwriting forum made up of a large and diverse group of writers, actors, directors and producers from the Cambridge region and beyond. The organisation provides a supportive and creative environment to encourage established and emerging playwrights, actors and directors to experiment and develop their skills.

I’ve just returned from a wonderful evening in Barton, Cambridge, at their 60-second Plays event where I was lucky enough to have four of my plays were chosen to be performed. 41 pieces were showcased in total, directed by Julia W L Bolden and Richard McNally and performed by a cast of 18 talented actors. I had the following scripts brought to life:

BACON SANDWICH? – Sophie arrives at Grandma’s in time for a spot of lunch.

BY THE LIGHT OF THE WAXING CRESECENT MOON – Find the wizened crone known as Isadore Carpathia, they told him. She can make it so.

SNAKE – Is there a limit to how far you would go to help a friend in an emergency?

STATUES – You’re never too old for a party game.
