Details of latest Traverse scratch night
By Thom Dibdin
The Traverse has announced details of its latest Words, Words, Words night of work-in-progress scratch theatre, with eight writers each teamed up with one of the theatre’s emerging directors.
The focus of the evening is on pieces which are not only brand new, but which are still forming, putting a strong emphasis on the development of work in progress.
Each writer and director gets 75 minutes to work on the script with their actors today. The scratch results will be performed this evening in Traverse Two, kicking off at 8pm. It is expected that the performance will be followed by lively debate and feedback in the Traverse bar afterwards.
The actors performing tonight are: Mary Gapinski, Helen McAlpine, Nicola Jo Cully, Tom Freeman, Paul Cunningham and Jordan Young.
