Stage2’s Towerblock Trio

Stage2’s Towerblock Trio

By Philip Ridley

Wed 17th - Sat 20th July 2013 at 7.30pm
at The Crescent Theatre, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B16 8AE

After a swift changeover from Stage2’s The Tempest, (‘an exceptional piece of theatre.’ Behind the Arras), Birmingham’s busiest youth theatre is now working on an exciting new project - Towerblock Trio by Philip Ridley (‘the master of modern myth.’ The Guardian), where fairytales come to life before our eyes. 

This is the first time that these three plays from The Storyteller Sequence will be performed together, intertwining and interweaving throughout the evening! The three plays - Sparkleshark, Fairytaleheart and Moonfleece - all centre around young people in East London who find storytelling an escapist route to project their true selves.

Rewritten and reworked especially for Stage2 in conjunction with Philip Ridley himself, this production will be a powerful piece of theatre about and for the next generation. Ridley’s writing is powerful and hard-hitting and this will be a blisteringly contemporary piece. 

‘The best British Playwright of the last twenty years.’
Aleks Sierz Author of In-Yer-Face Theatre
Stage2 prides itself on the range of plays that we stage, though always with consistently high production values and standards. For any member who stays with us for a while, their varied experience is unparalleled! For more info on Shakespeare’s The Tempest, please see over.

‘Forget this is youth theatre, forget it is an amateur production this is first class theatre full of fine performances with not a single weak link…’ Behind the Arras on Jim Cartwright’s ROAD, 2012
