An all-day new play extravaganza celebrating Box of Tricks’ PlayBox playwrights.
Join Box of Tricks for this year’s PlayMakers Takeover bringing together Northern playwrights and theatremakers to connect, collaborate and create.
Brace yourself for an all-day new play extravaganza at HOME Mcr: four rehearsed readings from PlayBoxers, a PlayMakers Offstage workshop with Associate Sound Designer & Composer Lee Affen and a drop-in Culture Café for Northern creatives.
PlayBox is a year-long writer-on-attachment programme offering bespoke residencies to four early-career North West playwrights to write a new play with support from Box of Tricks.
