writer-led theatre productions
Founded by Mark Hewitt with Matthew Wilkie and Sean Tyler, theplaygroup is a loose association of three theatre writers working together to develop new opportunities for producing their own writing.
Eat Theatre (2012)
The first project developed by theplaygroup was a highly successful series of new plays written for the café-bar of Farnham Maltings in Surrey. Each piece was a two-hander and ran for two nights accompanied by a light meal. The season ran through January, February and March 2012 with each of the plays directed by Joe Douglas.
January 18/19: The Trail of the Farnham Flyer by Matthew Wilkie
February 15/16: The Disappearing Disease by Sean Tyler
March 21/22: The Revenge Fantasy Club by Mark C. Hewitt
