I would very much like to invite you to attend my rehearsed reading of a selection of scenes of SUPERHEROES.
My play began its life in development (after collecting numerous newspaper clippings, reading, contact with New Father’s 4 Justice, my own life experiences and others) with Greyscale Theatre Company at The Bush Theatre.
My full length play recently won an award with IdeasTap along with five other up and coming playwrights to have rehearsed readings at their Takeover Festival.
My slot is, yes St Valentine’s Day, February 14th, Rich Mix, Venue 2, 35-47 Bethnal Green Road, London, E1 6LA from 1.30-3.00.
It’s an exciting subject matter, incredibly not brought to stage before and proves a true comedy/tragedy with great potential for physical theatre and accompanying music.
Synopsis:
‘Sam clambers on top of his ex-roof, Edmond accepts impending doom, Richard viciously winds up his solicitor, Sarah hopes to find a soulmate and heal all men of their disabling ‘well’ and Janice, knitterholic grandmother, joins them to form Superheroes 4 Justice. Clad in Spandex, tights, masks, ropes and capes together they fight the Injustice of Family Justice. Together a family. Together not defeated. Together changing political history. It’s brutal, hilarious, and honest. It’s life. It’s Superheroes.’
I hadn’t expected this project to create so much passion and excitement in others telling me their stories and wanting in any way to be cast or involved or help in making it happen for real.
