The challenge to the writers is to create a script for one or two actors featuring some sort of transformation in the character(s) and/or their situation through the unfolding of events.
The pieces selected by the reading panel are simply but imaginatively staged, script in hand, by our enthusiastic team of actors and directors, in the intimate setting of the ADC Bar.
There is a different programme on each of the five Sunday evenings, typically comprising 6-8 short pieces. The audience is invited to discuss how well they feel each writer has met the challenge.
Here are a few of the comments made during our 2011 MaD season:
“Excellent poignant economic dialogue”
“A lovely story, beautifully told”
“Very well observed and a lot of fun”
“A moving piece”
“Nice plot with great twist at the end”
