Page2Stage (Sept 26)
Genesis Theatre Productions Produced by Michelle McKay, Amie Burns Walker and Nay DhanakAbout
Page2Stage Edinburgh is an exciting new writing night produced by Michelle McKay.
P2S showcases extracts from 4 brand new plays, performed as rehearsed readings in front of a live audience and an industry panel providing dramaturgical feedback during the event giving a glimpse behind the curtain.
We then provide the opportunity to continue the conversation in the bar and make connections.
The Page2Stage team are also back at the Traverse on Wed 25 Nov with more new plays.
Page2Stage is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
