In the Same Boat emerged from the conversations, thoughts and ideas of four working actors, united by a passion for theatre, plays and playwriting. Our aim was to bring like-minded actors, writers, directors and theatre-goers together on a regular basis, giving them direct access to playwrights.
Since our first Write to Play… event at Theatre503 with Mark Ravenhill in November 2008 we have put many of our greatest living playwrights in the spotlight in some of the hottest new writing theatres. Our audiences hear them in conversation discussing their life, career and work, followed by a reading of an unseen or unheard play. Each event finishes with a Q & A. Our intention is always to try to get to the heart of a playwright’s work in a unique, inclusive and relaxed environment.
Direct Response… premiered at the Latitude Festival in July 2010 with Sir Peter Hall and marks the beginning of an exciting new strand of events celebrating contemporary theatre directors.
We hope to see you at an event very soon!
