Synopsis

Black on White shorts- an unmissable opportunity to catch ten of the sharpest, funniest, most life enhancing short plays written this year. Ten stories, ten writers and 150 minutes of contemporary theatre, bristling with the vitality of young voices from the North

Treat yoursel to ten different takes on life in the North;

Lily and Dale help themselves to a whole new life, the writing's on the wall for Mark and Heather, a young girl burns her father's heart, Bennie says it with flowers, Alice watches herself on telly, Billy and K could kill for a kebab, the roundabout kids are all mouth, Jake summons the spirit to move on, Danny can't keep his teeth from chattering and Genie learns to talk.

These ten treasures lead you through a remarkable journey through familiar territory in the most unfamiliar way.
