Some
of the people involved with 24:7 |
Starting
on 24 July 2004, the 7-day festival will première 17 pieces
of new writing for the theatre, with a spotlight on talent from
the North West.
And
what makes this festival even more exciting is that performances
will not be held in conventional theatres.
Amanda
Hennessy and 24:7 Director David Slack |
The
Printworks in Manchester and Chapel Street in Salford are being
transformed into performance spaces.
Each
participating company has been allocated up to five varied time
slots of 90 minutes each during the week.
In
that time they have to set up, perform, and leave the workspace
again.

A series
of consecutive performances will take place in each location, ensuring
that there will be no idle space throughout 24:7.
We've
asked Daisy Wang from 24:7 to give us all the inside information
about this year's festival and Daisy
has interviewed many of the writers involved. See below for a list
of interviews.
