St. James Theatre presents
Running Time: 2 hour approx with an interval
“I am hoping that the diverse programme we offer in the main house will prove the ideal stimulus and inspiration for new artists to come together and create. Who knows what might come of it” James Albrecht, Creative Director
RE:act – McQueen brings together four emerging writers, directors and a group of actors to respond to the story, themes and characters within James Phillips’ McQueen
Written in 24 hours, rehearsed at quick fire speed and performed on the stage of St. James Studio, these impulsive pieces will then be followed by a conversation with an established theatre creative and there will be the opportunity for both emerging and established artists to meet post-show to further discuss ideas.
The evening is curated by Alastair Knights who directed the sell-out 2014 main house production, Putting it Together, and Matthew Keeler and Lauren McGee for St. James Theatre.
The creative teams who will be responding to McQueen are Jingan Young, Mona Khalili, Doug Crossley, Rosy Banham, Yolanda Mercy, Alastair Knights, Conor Carroll and Alice Malin.
Our aim is for RE:act to become a playground and networking event for young theatre makers, actors and creatives to meet, form creative partnerships and be part of future RE:act evenings.
