Trading Local:
Exeter Northcott Theatre Company, Show Of Strength Theatre Company

Show of Strength, creators of Bristol’s Tobacco Factory Theatre, specialise in producing new work in unusual places. This autumn Exeter Northcott is working with them and Exeter-based writers to create five minute monologues which will then be performed in shops in the city centre. Pieces will be developed in workshops and at least 12 will be selected for professional production. The performances will take place throughout the day at shops in the Sidwell Street area. Show Of Strength invented Trading Local and tried it out earlier this year in Bedminster, Bristol. It was a huge success, with many shops packed for all performances. If you’re a writer who’d like to take part, or a shop in the Sidwell Street area interested in hosting a performance then please e-mail info@showofstrength.org.uk for details. You can download a performance schedule for Sat 14 November nearer the time. Visit www.exeternorthcott.co.uk/trading_local for further information.
