Presented by Fighting Words & The Abbey Theatre
DIRECTED BY Jeda de Brí
For a decade now, short plays, written and developed by teenage playwrights at Fighting Words, have been professionally directed and performed on The Abbey stage in an annual one-day festival.
Written by eight young writers, aged between 15 and 18 the piece stands as a testament to their continued desire to write and communicate through these tough and sometimes lonely times.
From not going clubbing because you’re living with your vulnerable nan, to the dark inner world of a Deliveroo cyclist, via the Gods debating the meaning of love, this is theatre at its purest, most honest and joyous.
