ANOTHER SHORT, SHARP, DYNAMIC EVENING OF NEW WORK.
First Time Out is an experimental writing and theatre project designed to explore the liminal space between a piece of writing and its interpretation. It is about the common ground between two forms of storytelling and the chance to explore the boundaries of each.
Following on from the success of last year's page #1, Scene#1 ... the end and other stories in 2008, we present another selection of writings that in many cases were not written for the realm of theatre but with the intention of exploring the medium of writing, the words on a page. This year's presentation, which we have named Altered States of Consciousness, is about taking the essence of those stories, those words, and finding a meaning in them that can transcend the page and live on the stage.
Director Michael Allen says the process is one of "essential theatre making, where actors explore a text and develop staged retellings".
"It will hopefully culminate in an engaging night at the theatre that stimulates the imagination of the audience as much as the original pieces of writing have stimulated my imagination from the page".
