The Scarborough Playwrights’ Room Showcase

My monologue, The best lovers are good with their hands, will be part of The Scarborough Playwrights’ Room Showcase, an evening of groundbreaking homegrown writing from a range of voices, including monologues, short plays, and scenes from larger plays, all written in and around Scarborough.

This showcase features writing from eight local writers, including wild comedy, mysterious drama, and moving monologues. Through the show, you'll see snapshots of wider works, some published, some entirely new. This show gives you the opportunity to directly support local creatives, and maybe even get involved yourself!
 
All writing in the show has been developed and/or supported by local theatre creatives at the Scarborough Playwrights’ Room, a local writing group hosted by the SJT and run by Alfie Howle.

The best lovers are good with their hands, published in Dancing in Heaven, tells the story of a young gay man who only finds out that he is HIV-positive when he meets a BSL interpreter in hospital.

The performance is on 6 May at The McCarthy at the Stephen Joseph Theatre. Tickets are free and can be booked at the theatre and online.
