Page to Stage
"Page to Stage was wonderful and I was so grateful to have both a play performed and one to direct." Gordon Robertson
Page to Stage is the Writers’ Summer School’s miniature short play festival. Each year, several five-minute plays are selected from those submitted in the months prior to the Summer School. These plays are then cast, rehearsed and performed at Swanwick before a reliably appreciative audience. The focus is on encouraging and developing play-writing, but there’s also the added incentive of awards for the audience’s favourite scripts and performances.
The seven finalists in the 2018 Page to Stage were:
David Johnson – To be the Best
Pearl Andrews-Horrigan – Moving Out
Julia Hartnett – Set in Stone
Janet Denny – At home with the Harveys
Sue Noon – Home Supporters
Alison Proom – Is anybody there?
Geoff Parkes – Payback
The five minute plays were cast and rehearsed during the week and performed on Wednesday 15 August.
Thanks to Steve Barnett, videos of the plays are now available on YouTube. You can view them by clicking here.
