We’re keen to kick off 2015, and are placing an open call for playwrights living in SE1 on and around Blackfriars Road to send in your short plays for our upcoming Summer performance. There is no set theme, although we are particularly keen on reading plays inspired by the neighbourhood and the theme of street life.
Have you written a short play that takes place in or is inspired by your area? Or has an idea worm been nagging at you and insisting that you pen it down? We want to hear from you!
Has it really been three months? If you missed Another Day, or if you simply miss it like we miss our gorgeous cast and the plush room 101, then you can soak yourself in nostalgia courtesy of Luc Gauthier, creator of the Another Day film.
Watch it, share it, and remember, “you don’t build a community, you ARE a community….”
Well, that’s a wrap on this year’s Another Day, and we’re already working hard on next years project. In the meantime, we would love to hear from all of you who came along so that we can continue to improve our productions.
Thanks from all of us here at team AFOAF and Another Day!
It’s been three weeks since the company of Another Day took their final bow… so we thought it was about time for a jaunt down memory lane (Blackfriars Road). Click on the link below to see the beautiful production photos by Bogdan Staiculescu.
True theatre doesn’t have to take place in a huge Victorian building with a stage, proscenium arch, fancy sets, etc and “Another Day” the latest show from A Friend of a Friend Productions, proves this admirably with a site-specific promenade theatre show making the area around the London borough of Blackfriars a stage in its own right. The show, commissioned by the local authority to produce art that embraces and involves the local community, uses not one but 6 playwrights who base their own plays on stories and reminiscences from the Blackfriars population, whilst also contributing to an over-arching single story. A tough call you might think but Producer Susanna Narvaez and Director Patrick Maubert really delivered the goods on this project.
