Tricycle Theatre Launches Nw6 New Writing Festival
The Tricycle's inaugural NW6 New Writing Festival will showcase 5 brand new plays created by the Tricycle's NW6 writers. These new plays will be presented as rehearsed readings in the theatre's Baldwin Studio over five nights from 4 - 9 April.
Over the last year, NW6 has supported five writers - Hassan Abdulrazzak, Zodwa Nyoni, Chino Odimba, Sam Potter and Francis Turnly - to develop their long-term careers and creativity, helping them to progress onto larger stages. Since its launch in Summer 2015, NW6 has provided a talented range of playwrights with the crucial financial and professional support needed to take their work to the next level.
Based in NW6, the Tricycle is a local theatre with an international vision. Through scale of opportunity, commitment to talent and telling human stories without borders, NW6 is part of the Tricycle's commitment to promoting a rich range of perspectives in British drama now, and for the future.
The Tricycle Theatre's Artistic Director Indhu Rubasingham said today: "This inaugural New Writing Festival is the exciting culmination of a full year of work for these talented playwrights. It's been a great experience having these writers become a part of the Tricycle over the last year and to now be able to provide a platform for their ambitious new plays to be heard for the first time over five days. Each of these plays has a uniquely human story at their heart, waiting to be heard."
Francis Turnly, one of the NW6 group of writers, added: "Taking part in NW6 this past year has been a huge benefit, sharing knowledge with other playwrights and having the opportunity to learn from theatre practitioners has given me the confidence to conceive bigger plays and be braver in my writing."
All tickets to NW6 are £6 (£5 for concessions and Trike members) and can be booked online at www.tricycle.co.uk or via the Tricycle Theatre Box Office: 020 7328 1000.
