Overview

Unless you are lucky enough to unearth a leaked draft of J.K. Rowling's 15th instalment, seldom do we, the public, have a chance to witness the work of the creative elite under construction. (Yes, even this article copped some re-working). Rarer still is to see a leaked draft of a contemporary performance, and so, artistic voyeurs, don't forget your binoculars this Saturday as you peer into the minds on display at STC's Rough Draft #6.

The result of a week-long creative binge, five actors will workshop a single scene penned by playwright Rita Kalnejais.  Other creative inner sanctums on display include Richard Cottrell (director), Stefan Gregory (sound designer and composer), Alice Osborne (puppeteer), Kate Revz (director) and Kate Champion (choreographer). For the audience, it is an opportunity to dive deep into the creative juices and come out firing in the post-performance Q&A.  For the artists, the target is experimentation: to try new collaborations and ideas before a forgiving (cost-free tickets means heckle-free people) and receptive audience. Although tickets are free, you are advised to book ahead.
