Thursday 17 February, 8pm Big Picture: Short Cuts They say a picture paints a thousand words. In Short Cuts this proverb is being tested as writers are set the challenge of writing a short play inspired by the winning image from our photography competition. The best pieces will be performed alongside brilliant short plays from around the world. Jump through the photo frame and explore plays that are visual, plays that surprise and plays that pop up where you least expect them. If you feel inspired and would like to submit a script for the next Short Cuts event then follow Live Theatre on Facebook or Twitter or visit www.live.org.uk for details of next season’s theme and submission date.

Thursday 3 March, 8pm Boys on the Edge Ever wanted to take a look inside someone’s head and find out what makes them tick? Why they behave the way they do? Why they NEVER put the milk back in the fridge? After the success of Girls on the Verge in October 2010, it’s the turn of the boys. These work-in-progress monologues by Alison Carr, Laura Lindow and Bridget Deane take a peek into the minds of three young men on the edge of adulthood and discover a variety of bizarre, moving, disturbing and slightly grubby things.
Thursday 14 April, 8pm Scratch Night Live Theatre and The Empty Space join forces to host Live’s very first Scratch Night. This is the audiences’ chance to help shape new pieces of theatre.

After the show move to the bar where YOUR feedback is required on what you’ve just seen. Everything from positive praise to constructive criticism is welcome. Come scratch with us...
