Synopsis: | Theatre503 present a series of short plays which riff on the theme of "Coalition" - both in that they are all products of collaborations between playwrights and artists of other disciplines, and in that they all address in one way or another the new age of coalition government in which we find ourselves. You might say that a theatrical exploration of the current political situation could have come a little sooner; but coinciding as it does with the student riots and the general reaction to the October cuts, this project feels incredibly vital. There are ten pieces of work, split into a Blue Group and a Yellow Group (for Tories and Lib Dems, of course), which perform on alternate nights. | |||||

Notes: | part of a three month long festival about the culture and history of Afghanistan. Entitled The Great Game: Afghanistan. The festival will be divided into three parts, each focusing on a period of Afghan history: 1996 - 2009 : Enduring Freedom | |||||
| Following a long early dinner break, the evening took time to get going. Honey features a series of diplomatic negotiations between an Afghan Defence Minister, Masood Khalili and CIA agent Schroen, played by Vincent Ebrahim and Michael Cochrane. This is used as a means to show that the USA had provided weapons that ended up on both sides leading to the War on Terror. It also strongly implies that with greater will and more trust for their allies, the warning given by the World Trade Center attack in 1996 should have been enough to prevent the devastation there five years later. . | |||||

Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | Part of Playlist. Nine new plays by: Danny Kanaber, Tom Morton Smith, Hannah Mulder, Ben Ockrent, Sian Owen, Lola Stephenson, Colin Teevan, Jack Thorne and Rosalind Wyllie. The Festival edition of Theatre503's regular sell-out event. Inspired by the music of artists playing at Latitude, we present nine new plays by a selection of established, emerging and as yet undiscovered writers. The perfect theatrical mixtape: Some writers you know, some you don't, but all writers you'll end up loving. Playful, poignant, or a puzzle to be solved, the only rule is that each play is no longer than the piece of music that inspired it. A feast of fearless new writing in beautiful, bite-size chunks. | |||||
