We are delighted to announce that A Friend of a Friend Productions has been commissioned by Southwark Council to bring new theatre writing to Blackfriars. We will be presenting short plays recounting stories from local residents, those who work in the area and anyone who has being personally affected by an encounter within the neighbourhood rife with history and diversity: Blackfriars in Southwark. Removed from a traditional theatre setting, the plays will be thrust into a realistic context, bringing the focus directly on the relationships that we form, the jobs that we hold and the lives that we lead.
We seek local writers to present short plays relating to the Southwark area, and will also be teaming professional playwrights up with residents to bring their stories to the ‘stage’.
In October these plays will be presented in a site specific, promenade production on the Blackfriar’s Mile.
