New Writers... Hot, but not necessarily young...!
About the Bonnington Playwrights
In 2005, having concentrated for three years on the creative process, the first rehearsed reading of our work was at the Arcola Theatre under the direction of Karen Tomlin. In January 2007 Three by Three dovetailing three of these short plays by three of our writers was staged at the The Hen and Chickens, in Islington.
In between the preparations for Three by Three, we wrote and produced a modern take on a set of fairy tales for the Bonnington Square Garden Festival in June 2006. A comeback performance is planned for the future.
In July 2007 Bonnington Playwrights in association with the National Trust and with a grant from Ashford Borough Council, produced The Quite Peculiar and Irresistible Charm of Ellen Terry at Smallhythe Place in Kent. The play was staged in the Barn Theatre – originally established by Ellen’s daughter Edy in the garden at Smallhythe. This, like our other productions, was a resounding sell-out success.
Our current projects are detailed on our events page.
