About this Event
5×5 is a night of immediate theatre which brings together five writers to create five brand-new short plays, each sparked by a singular provocation and performed for the very first time.
Theme: 'Nature' is the theme for our launch night, which can be be taken as literally or as wildly as each writer dares.
Writers: Deborah Frances-White · Jess Cole · Julia Grogan · Elliot Barnes-Worrell · Morgan Lloyd Malcolm, plus special guest Jonnie Fielding.
Post show panel: 5 x 5 team and Green Rider discuss theatre as a changemaking space, and climate activism in storytelling with Green Rider.
Actors and directors: Watch this space IG @5x5theatre
Tickets are tiered: Please take the ticket that reflects what you can give.
Every tier gets the same extraordinary night. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, please get in touch if you need.
5×5 is run entirely by people generously donating their time. We'd love to grow this initiative and continue to ensure that participants from all economic backgrounds and experience levels can take part, creating a space where established and emerging artists can truly experiment and collaborate. But that takes real resource.
