ANGLE at the Bush
About
An explosive double bill of new, short plays found in West London, directed by Blanche McIntyre and performed in an exciting space at the new Bush:
REPENTANCE by Mediah Ahmed
Tug of war. A game I used to play as a child. It was fun then.
A miniature epic about a Muslim girl, her new boyfriend, and everything in between.
BEHIND THE LINES by Neil Daley
Me, I’m in no gang; that’s long.
I just wanna play football, make dough, chase girls – in that order.
As police tape cordons off yet another street corner, we’re taken on a breathless sprint through the lives and fears of the onlookers.
ANGLE’s mission is to uncover raw, local writing talent and marry it with professional theatre makers to produce vibrant, unheard voices for the British stage.
Over the summer of 2011, ANGLE conducted a ‘call for plays’ across West London:
“ANGLE’s three month search involved a fleet of community partners and volunteers and which took us across six boroughs in West London; from Hounslow High Street to Tesco’s Extra in Wembley. Our two selected writers, Mediah Ahmed and Neil Daley, are everything we could have hoped for; both offer something charismatic, vivid and new to the canon and we are proud to be their champions and to platform their work at the spectacular new Bush theatre.” Charlotte Gwinner, Artistic Director of ANGLE
ANGLE at the Bush is made possible through funding from the Arts Council, Foyle Foundation, Wates Foundation and Trans-Siberian Orchestra, alongside generous support in kind from the Bush Theatre and Pentagram.
