The Play's the Thing
Maisie has written a play about her friends, and they are not going to like the way they come across in it.
First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.
The story
When Maisie decides to stage a play about the people closest to her, a rehearsal becomes a reckoning and a friendship falls apart in real time. As accusations fly and one misunderstanding spirals, the group has to ask whether theatre can tell the truth about anyone, and who has the right to try.
In the room
A play in three parts that turns on representation, miscommunication and artifice, written as an affectionate tribute to pub theatre in all its mess and silliness.
Good fit if you like
plays about making theatre, friendship fallouts and stories told in parts.
