The Page is Printed

Creative Writing Competition It’s been an incredible year for our annual Page is Printed Creative Writing Competition! TacchiMorris received well over 100 entries, with people applying from all over the globe (even as far as New Zealand)! Saturday 27th April saw the culmination of the 2019 Page is Printed Creative Writing Competition in our Celebration Evening, and what a fabulous night of spoken word we had?!

To finalise the evening, we announced the winners of this year’s competition...

Our most sincere congratulations and well done to all who entered. It takes a great deal of courage to get one’s thoughts onto paper and to share them with others, and a great deal more to read those words out loud to an auditorium full of people. The Celebration Evening had a brilliant atmosphere and was full of supportive and welcoming writers and non-writers alike, so thank you also to all who came to show their support.

If there’s one thing that we hope to achieve from this competition, it’s that we inspire creativity. We hope that all who entered go away from this and continue to write, continue to enter competitions and continue to inspire others. We hope that everyone involved had as much fun as we did, and that many will continue to enter the competition for years to come.

Thank you all!

@2K Theatre Thu 21 – Sat 23 Nov, 7:30pm & Sat 23 – Sun 24 Nov, 2:30pm A new play incorporating A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens in the form of a live radio recording.

Written and adapted by Martin Carpenter. Directed

by Mark Scribbins.

From the original Dickens story, Humbug gives an insight into the goings-on behind the radio plays we love to listen to on a cold winter’s night. A collection of actors, old and new, come together to produce this radio version recorded in front of a live audience (yes that’s you)! All is not as calm as the listeners think, but only the audience can see the mayhem that ensues. A comedy about luvvies and their relationships. Will they remember which parts they are playing? Will they master the different voices? Will that clock ever stop chiming? And where is Margaret?
