Poetry Playspace: Poetry Plays with Sarah Crutwell

What happens when we merge poetry and theatre in a playful safe place?

Using Clean by Sabrina Mahfouz we'll explore how language can drive plot, how characters can have a poetic voice of their own and how rhythm can keep an audience enthralled.

Sabrina is a poet first, and this spills into her play writing with her rich and punchy use of words, let's see if we can do the same!

Clean is a 30min play, written in only 48hours, what can we create in an afternoon?!

(No need to read play in advance, open to all levels of experience).
