An evening of new ideas selected from over 60 submissions, FirstStage will provide a unique opportunity for writers, devisers, and performers to test work in development and for you to give feedback. FirstStage is a new feature of Re:Play 2009 and will be a must for people with an interest in the future of performance in Manchester. Curated by Nicky Hatton and Jenna Omeltschenko, with a warm-up from writer and poet Gerry Potter.
