Young Muslim playwriting project

Are you of Muslim heritage? Aged 16 - 25? Into playwriting, or fancy giving it a try? Would you like to see your work performed by professional actors at the Royal Exchange?

If this is you, or if you work with young Muslims, we want to hear from you!

We're looking for people to take part in this brand new playwriting project, with single sex and mixed workshops for individuals, taking place between October and December, and tailor-made sessions for community groups. The project will result in two evenings of readings and performances of play scenes, written by YOU, here in the theatre in Spring 2009.

The Deadline for scene submissions is 10 December.

If you would like to take part, organise a taster at your group's venue, or just want to find out more, contact:
