A new cast of local actors will be giving a rehearsed reading of The Inside Man at Shoreham WordFest on Friday 30 September.

This one-off event will also include a reading of Judy Upton’s short play Undone. We’re in Room 3 at the Shoreham Centre in Pond Road and the event begins at 7.30pm. Tickets are £3 and are available online here or by calling 07522 957691.

After the readings we’ll be taking questions from the audience. The event is designed to provide an insight into the rehearsal process, to see how writers and actors work together to bring a play to life. It is also the first outing for The Inside Man since our recent run at the Brighton Fringe.

I’ve posted the first section of The Inside Man in the Plays section today.

For those who haven’t seen the play, The Inside Man is a comedy thriller about a bungled robbery. Boris and Carol have a problem. They are tied together in the back room of the jewellery shop where Carol works and they won’t be going anywhere until the man in the balaclava has emptied the safe upstairs. But Carol has an extra problem: Boris just won’t shut up.

The Inside Man was one half of our recent double bill at the Brighton Fringe. The other half, The Interview, is also available to read on this site. Of course I don’t want to give away all the twists and turns, so I’ve only posted the opening pages to whet your appetite. If you’d like to read the whole play please send me an email.
