8 writers, 4 directors, 12 actors, 8 plays over the course of 2 nights. And you the audience will decide which play you would like to see further developed and supported by Freedom Studios into a seventy-minute touring play. We invite you to play the part of critic, advocate and agent.
You will see the work of some of the most exciting new playwrights in Yorkshire. Plays with a panoramic view of the world as reflected by a new generation of contemporary theatre makers that will entertain and enthral you.
As the performances unfold, you will be drawn into stories that are sometimes personal, sometimes absurd and sometimes fantastic. From a Queen who has 15 minutes to live unless she can finish writing the book the King commanded her to write 300 years ago, to a naive assasin who wants to save Zimbabwe, each play provides a slice of life, a personal vision of the world.
All the writers have attended the Street Voices 3, an intensive writing course led by Madani Younis, Artistic Director of Freedom Studios with dramaturgical support from playwright Parv Bancil.
"I have been priveliged to witness the bravery, passion and commitment shown by the writers who are not afraid to say it the way they see it without fear and without compromise." - Madani Younis, Artisitc Director, Freedom Studios
"Street Voices is a great new initiative. It offers a considered context in which new writers can articulate their voices and find production." - Josie Rourke, Artistic Director, Bush Theatre
