Triple Bill: Everywhere
Theatre is EVERYWHERE around us.
tiata fahodzi presents EVERYWHERE - a triple bill of short plays presented together, driven by a provocation about what we do in what spaces matter.
Drama and conflict are things that we experience as humans everywhere beyond the limitations of a theatre space, and these 3 commissioned writers are exploring what that means to them in short form. Working with brilliant actors and creatives, the triple bill 30-minute pieces will bring some of best established and emerging talent from theatre to tell original and diverse stories that take us from displacement to maternity wards.
The EVERYWHERE triple bills are very much about instigating conversations and curiosity between artists and audiences.
Writers include Yusra Warsama, Magero and Anyebe Godwin. Directed by Roy Alexander Weise MBE.
