Pages From My Songbook

Synopsis:
North West professional playwrights collective the Alligator Club is set to stage a festival of short plays inspired by music at the Studio at Manchester's Royal Exchange Theatre on July 19-20. Pages From My Songbook is billed as a mix tape of theatre, with 18 short plays featuring live music, all the length of a song, which explore love, life, loneliness and lager. Against the backdrop of a dusky festival night, it will immerse the audience in stories that blur the lines between a theatrical and festival experience, as short stories and musicians evoke the spirit of a festival.

Notes:
Written by Miriam Battye, Ella Carmen Greenhill, Becky Prestwich, Lee Thompson, Jennifer Tuckett and Kim Wiltshire.
