Straight from the streets
of Seattle, 14/48 WOLVERHAMPTON is
landing at the Arena Theatre in June
and is set to showcase 14 plays over a 48-hour period.
The festival is the
brainchild of Michael Neff and Jodi-Paul Wooster, who hatched the
initial plans whilst working at South Lake Union, Seattle. From humble
beginnings, the festival has developed into a gathering of Seattle’s most
daring theatre artists and audiences. After 16-plus years, the festival has
gone global and visits Wolverhampton from 12 – 13 June 2015.
During the two-day period
in the city, 14 plays will be written, directed, scored, designed and performed
within 48 hours. A team of 75 artists from the across the Midlands, the UK and
Seattle are engaged in the festival, producing 7 premiere plays per evening.
14/48 is a ‘live brief’ networking opportunity, a new
writing festival, theatre stripped back to it’s raw roots. It is the most fun,
challenging, and invigorating experience for both the artists and audiences
that make it possible. It aims to develop satellite
festivals across the world, encouraging a flow of artists between festivals,
and the benefits that blossom from these connections.
As part of the festival,
there will also be a Meet the Brewer event with Sacre Brew, an exciting
artisanal microbrewery based in Wolverhampton on the evening of Saturday 13
June.
14/48 performances begin at
8pm and 10:30pm on 12 & 13 June priced at £5 - £7 per show or £8 - £10 for
both nights booked together. Tickets are on sale now from www.arena.wlv.ac.uk or by
calling the Box Office 01902 321321.
