A trio of micro plays commissioned for our Blueprint Festival of new ideas are all based on one theme,
Food For Thought, but they could not be more different.
Festival-goers can see script-in-hand performances of the three 20-minute plays that feature a mouse, a wake and a trendy restaurant in one festival event.
The programme, curated by
Danielle Kassaraté (Associate Director Talent Development) and playwright
Somebody Jones, includes discussion time after each play when the audience is invited to join the conversation about the work with the creative team and actors.
Food For Thought is part of our ongoing mission to encourage new voices into the building and develop new and local talent, particularly from the Global Majority.
The first play in the programme is
There’s a Mouse in the Kitchen, written by
Cal-I Jonel and directed by
George Morgan. It looks at the relationship of an anxious student with a rodent phobia and his sporty older brother, played by
Owen Chaponda and
Dauda Ladejobi.
In
Antoinette Jackman’s
Like My Skin and Blister secrets are revealed between two cousins in the kitchen after a family funeral.
Sharon Rose and
Deborah Imhogiemhe play the two young women and
Britny Virginia Albert directs.
Finger Food by
Somebody Jones and directed by
Charleen Qwaye is a thriller set in a trendy restaurant, where
Adam Karim and
Mia Lysandrou are meeting to get their stories straight about their missing friend
