In April 2020 we launched Sofa2Stage, our project encouraging new writing. Absolutely no previous experience is required.
In the recent year, project submissions were shortlisted by our reading panel before being cast, rehearsed, performed and recorded following social distancing rules and the wonders of technology. After being streamed online and voted on by the public, a Readers and Audience Choice was awarded.
Thank you to all the writers, actors, directors, technicians, the panel of readers and anyone else involved in the projects.
