On
4 April, a valiant band read, acted out or directed their entries for
the group's second competition of the year: dramatic writing. This
year, the brief was to produce a piece suitable for the Hastings
Fringe Festival to he held from 1 to 4 September. The organiser of
the event, Heather Alexander, will judge, and the lucky winner will
have the opportunity to have their work performed if they wish. As
always, there was a dizzying array of material, including monologues:
the philosophising of an elderly Rastafarian, a passenger's musings
at a train station and a woman's attempt to plumb the secrets of the
universe. There were stage plays set in a quiet, suburban
living-rooms, a salon, an office and the kitchen sink, exploring themes as diverse as
dementia, war, archaeology fundraising and Brexit. We rounded off the evening with a radio
play, depicting what could have been the perfect murder.
