Play hide and seek this Saturday

Our final contribution to Islington's brilliant Word 2012 festival takes place this Saturday - and it's a really exciting event.

20 young people are taking over the beautiful Central Library and are hiding script-in-hand performances of plays all over the building: in nooks and crannies, in cupboards and under tables; between shelves of books and perhaps even in the toilet.  Each play has been written by a young member of Speakeasy, our collective of 14-19 year old playwrights and each will be performed by ICT members.

Your job is to find each of the plays and use the information they contain to solve a unique crossword puzzle.  The winner, drawn from the correct entries on the night, will win a very special prize.

You can read more about it on the Wordsearch page, and in our newsletter here.

Dawn King's 100 word play

As part of our ongoing series of 100 word plays written by young people, the playwright Dawn King has contributed her own tiny piece of work, called The Visit.

You can read it (and all the other plays in the series) here.

The 100 word plays are being published to celebrate the Islington Word 2012 festival.

Live and Bold

The brilliant director Ola Ince is out on the road all this week, visiting 5 different schools to promote our re-launched LIVE AND BOLD theatre workshops at Platform.

Live and Bold is a chance for young people who are passionate about performance to build their skills and make new theatre. The workshops are drop-in sessions so you can come to as many sessions as you like.

The workshops take place in the excellent basement workshop space at Platform.
