Scratch Theatre10 new mini plays! 1 day of rehearsal! 1 night of performance!!
Scratch Theatre is very new, very different and very exciting. The evening will see us premiere 10 short pieces, written by some of the best dramatic writers in Linlithgow - us! We encouraged anyone in our group, who had been nursing a gem of an idea, sometimes for years, sometimes for five minutes, to ferment those creative juices and commit those thoughts to paper. We selected our favourite writings and worked collaboratively to further develop each piece. The results are both hilarious and moving. Maybe we shouldn’t have been surprised, since we already have a number of Players whose writing has gained recognition. Some of our writers have been finalists in Scottish Community Drama Association national monologue script-writing competition. And two of the plays that will premiere at Scratch Theatre have been long-listed in a national play writing competition this year (Pint-Sized Plays) We await news about whether they will progress further… |
But back to the show. On the day, our hugely talented and brave cast of actors and directors will start from scratch on the morning of 26th August. We’ll work together throughout the day on each piece before performing them, script in hand, that very same evening. I know, crazy or what?
From comedy to heartache, from reworked fairy tales to courtroom dramas, from local politics to Mastermind, our performances will engage and entertain you as we interpret some of the newest and freshest writing in town.
e wanted to find an intimate setting for our performance and where better than the West Port Hotel’s Function Room (Code). We plan to seat the audience around the performing space so that everyone will be close to the action.
And to start your evening, why not have a meal at The West Port Hotel? As well as the usual menu, the hotel is offering our audience a special pre-theatre meal deal. So, if you are attending the show, you can opt for a set menu of 2 courses for £15.50 or 3 courses for £18.50. Booking for this offer is essential (01506 847456) with tables available to book between 4 pm and 6 pm (so you have time to enjoy your meal before heading up to the Function Room) Please advise The West Port that you are attending Scratch Theatre on arrival.
