The Annual Festival Nurtures Emerging And Established Playwrights To Develop New Scripts. Reading 100+ Scripts A Year, The New Works Literary Committee Chooses Two Top Plays To Receive A Stage Reading With Critical Feedback From Professional Theatre Critics And An Audience Talk Back.

Schedule Of Events:

The One Good Thing Or "Are You Patrick Swayze?" – Brothers Jamie And Tommy Share A Remote Farmhouse On The Cliffs Of The Irish Sea. One Morning Jamie Makes An Astonishing Declaration. He Announces That He Is Dead – And Now A Ghost. Tommy, Naturally, Is Unconvinced, Maintaining That His Brother's Delusion Is Caused By The Grief Jamie Has Suffered Since Their Mother's Death. Through Humor And Pathos, The Play Explores Themes Of Love, Loss, And Redemption, Culminating In The Discovery That The Eternal Exists In Their Fraternal Bond. The One Good Thing… Should Fuel Speculation About What Is Real And What Is Imaginary. However, Ultimately, It Should Touch The Heart.
