Notes: | Each year M6 commissions, performs and tours a series of powerful monologues which share the struggles, courage, conflicts and joys of different characters facing difficult decisions in their lives. This growing strand of M6's work enables the Company to perform powerful and contemporary stories in a classroom, theatre space or conference setting. The success of these monologues has led to their publication. All Talk - a selection of M6 monologues written by six North West based writers is published by Aurora Metro Press (2007). These short single voice plays provide audiences with intimate, emotionally charged performances, which act as a stimulus for meaningful and important peer discussions. The flexibility, intimacy and impact of M6's monologues and accompanying facilitated workshops enable young people to explore the emotions, motivations and choices of different characters at difficult crossroads in their lives. ABOUT: A project comprising 6 short, single voice plays by writers based in the North West. These powerful monologues share the struggles, courage, conflicts and joys of young characters facing difficult decisions in their lives. | |||||
