5th July

The Library Theatre

"With a production of Claire Dowie's 'Why is John Lennon Wearing a Skirt' plus workshops with the author at the Crescent Theatre, a showcase of exam work at the Library Theatre and a trilingual exchange trip with a German Theatre group in Barcelona, July is a busy month for Stage2 - Somehow though they have also managed to squeeze in a taste of the Big Apple. The company have taken short plays by some of the best American writers such as Christopher Durang and Lucille Fletcher and linked them with improvised scenes, to form a complete day in the life of New Yorkers. Stage2 has a strong reputation and has never been afraid to stretch the boundaries of what's expected of youth theatre groups, performing challenging work from Shakespeare to Berkoff and with this amount of activity planned for the summer, it's going from strength to strength."
