Origins Theatre Projects is a project-based theatre
company producing plays that are driven by playwrights. We seek plays that are
engaging, with strong texts, and perhaps some lyrical content and keen issues.
Currently, our associate supported production, Nggrfg is touring the
Edingburough Fringe Festival. Origins
Theatre Projects also supports playwrights through seedling grants and with the
support of the Jessies, the Gordon
Armstrong Playwrights Rent Award.
Special note: Amongst other honours, Janet Hinton is a
recent Gordon Armstrong Playwright’s Rent Award winner. The award supported
giving Janet some inspiration and time to write a new draft of her play The
Swing.
Please attend the reading.
