Nabokov presentsPresent : Tense / Six
April 27th 2008
Show starts: 8pm
The return of the toughest creative challenge in town. A group of playwrights, directors, film-makers, poets and musicians have one week to respond to the most important news story of the moment.
Some of the UK’s most exciting talent convenes to select the most momentous story on the news agenda. They each have one week to create a piece of work that responds to the story they choose. As the news changes, they will be forced to adapt their work, until it is performed for you the public on Sunday 27 April 2008 - exactly one week after they began.
Featuring JUSTIN BUTCHER, KATIE DOUGLAS, JACK THORNE, DAVID WATSON (playwrights), NATHAN CURRY, JAMES GRIEVE, NAOMI JONES, GEORGE PERRIN (directors), ARTHUR DARVILL (composer), NATHAN CLOUGH (performance poet), JOHN LLOYD FILLINGHAM (film-maker), STEVE HOLLINGSHEAD (photographer).
