The folks at Valley Theatre offer their latest event for this year’s popular Liverpool Fringe, a showcase of original short plays by Merseyside writers.

Audiences will be entertained by two evenings of short, punchy dramas especially written around the theme: A Sense of Place.

“We wanted to stretch the writers,” explains Tom Mclennan, the event producer. “We asked them to anchor their piece in a particular location. The place itself had to play an important part of the action, be almost like another character in it.”

The theme has certainly produced a wide variety of settings, from the deck of a 19th century ship to the dizzying top of a high-rise building.

“We see the event as part of our continuing commitment to bringing new writing to our theatre,” says Martin Ball, director of Valley Community Theatre. “We believe we have one of the best performance spaces on Merseyside and want to make it as accessible as possible to audiences and artists alike.”

“A Sense of Place” will take place on Friday 6th & Saturday 7th of October and give audiences the chance to see 10 completely new works, five each evening.
