MicroPlays

These are wonderful digital ‘short plays’ by the enterprising Hereford based theatre company Open Sky (of which I am a proud trustee). I love the quality of the writing for each of these short digital plays: all five writers are awesomely sophisticated early to mid-career playwrights who use language & place in funny, unexpected, and sharp ways to interrogate the idea of ‘cultural polarisation’. They look gorgeous too. After having sat through dozens of ‘zoom dramas’ it was lovely to see five pieces of work made with such care and deftness!
