Paine’s Plough<\/a>, the UK’s leading new writing company, is in Cheltenham on November 1st, as they seek to weave a theatrical tapestry of the UK. In towns across the country, Paine’s Plough have commissioned local playwrights to write plays about the places that have shaped them, and the line up in Gloucestershire includes UoG Creative Writing lecturer Lucy Tyler<\/a>. The ‘Come to Where I’m From<\/a>‘ project is unusual in that the playwrights have to perform their own work – something that many of them find terrifying<\/a>.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lucy says her play developed from\u00a0her interest in pschogeography and the social creation of space, and adds that – to her surprise – the script has a magic realist dimension. You can read more about the background to\u00a0Lucy’s play in an article from today’s Gloucestershire Echo<\/a>; however, to find out what Lucy and the other commissioned playwrights have to say about Cheltenham and Gloucestershire, make sure you’re at the Parabola Arts Centre, 7:30pm, on Thursday November 1st. Tickets are \u00a310 full price and \u00a38 for concessions.<\/p>\n

‘Come to Where I’m From’ will run for one night only, but while they’re here, Paine’s Plough are also running two highly recommended workshops:<\/p>\n

WORKSHOP: If It Didn\u2019t Exist, You\u2019d Have To Invent It
\n<\/strong>Wed 31 Oct, 7- 8.30pm. Price \u00a35
\nPaines Plough was dreamt up by its founders over a pint. The name comes from the beer they were drinking (Paines) and the pub they were drinking in (Plough). Thirty-five years later, \u201cPaines Plough\u2019s nomadic theatre company has racked up so many stars that browsing its press release is a bit like looking into deep space\u201d (METRO). If you\u2019re interested in setting up and running your own company, we can help you force your ideas into existence.<\/p>\n

WORKSHOP: Producing Plays, Developing Writers<\/strong>
\nThur 1 Nov, 5-6.30pm.\u00a0Price \u00a35
\nPaines Plough is a home for writers – the playwright is at the heart of everything we do. When we\u2019re not producing plays, we\u2019re doing our best to help playwrights get better at writing them. If you write, come and see what we can do for you.<\/p>\n

(To book for either workshop, phone the Parabola Arts Centre box office on 01242 707 338)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
