Theatres bridging gap for FANS debut

Rehearsals for the world premiere of FANS, a new play created and directed by Melanie Rashbrooke and written by emerging playwright Nina Berry, have begun at Alnwick Playhouse.

This exciting collaboration brings together a team of eight North East theatre makers, musicians and creatives to make a completely new and original piece of work that will tour the North East this September.

FANS is part of this year’s Bridging the Gap scheme, an ARC initiative with Arts Centre Washington, Alnwick Playhouse and Northern Stage, set up to aid the development of new work and support emerging theatre makers in the North East.

FANS tours the North East from Tuesday, September 6, to Saturday, October 1, and will be on stage at the Playhouse on Friday, September 9.
