The Bread & Roses Theatre Company (BRTC) presents
The Platform
A PAGE TO STAGE SCRATCH NIGHT FOR NEW WRITING
& First Year Anniversary of The Bread & Roses Theatre
Sunday 1st & Monday 2nd November at 7.30pm

Picture
To celebrate the first year anniversary of The Bread & Roses Theatre - launched 1st of November 2014 - exactly one year on the in-house Bread & Roses Theatre Company (BRTC) presents the eighth instalment of their new writing scratch night, The Platform. With a record number of over 500 submissions from writers this is set to be one of the best and most exciting ones yet!

Come and enjoy a fabulous night of new short plays whilst celebrating the successful  first year of The Bread & Roses Theatre. Highlights of the theatre's first year include receiving a 2015 ICWP 50/50 Applause Award, launching the Clapham Fringe Festival as well as Playwriting and Emerging Theatre Company Competitions; all whilst having welcomed over 70 theatre companies on a pure box-office split basis, without charging any upfront hire fees, and establishing a place for the venue on the London fringe!

The Platform has been running regularly since October 2012 and has quickly established itself as an opportunity to discover, develop and explore new short plays and monologues for audiences as well as creatives. As the original project that triggered the eventual launch of The Bread & Roses Theatre, The Platform also returns for its first year anniversary!
