One Million Tiny Plays About Britain
by Craig Taylor
AUDITIONS
Laugh-out-loud funny, and sometimes heartbreakingly moving, these tiny plays in which every one of us could have a starring role are little windows into other people’s lives that reveal the triumphs, prejudices, horrors and joys of twenty-first-century life. Sarah Curwen and Liz Hume have chosen 22 of Craig Taylors beautifully observed snapshots for Frome Dramas’ entry into Frome Festival 2025.
We are looking for 8 actors, 4 male 4 female to form a company with each member taking character roles as well as playing a variety of parts in the ensemble. The beauty of the pieces is that no one person will have vast numbers of lines to learn but you will explore a variety of characters.
We would also love to hear from members who would like to help with staging, costume, props and sound and lighting – not expected to be a large commitment. Contact Liz or Sarah to find out more.
