Following on from our last, sell-out LOVE BITES show in 2018, Spontaneous Productions is back with more tales of love and heartbreak by emerging playwrights from SE London. Expect comedy, tragedy, romance, quirkiness and a soupçon of perversity…

The plays will be performed ‘script-in-hand’ by professional actors and the audience will get to vote on their favourite play on the night, with the winning playwright receiving a bottle of bubbly.

This is the 12th Spontaneous Productions’ short play ‘scratch night’, building on the success of its Ocelot Gymkhana brand, its Battle of the Bards and Stagewrite short play showcases at Sydenham Arts Festival and one-offs such as Three Plays to See Before You Die and The Brothers Kaufman’s Three Course Comedy. In 2017 and 2018, the company presented 600 Seconds and 600 Seconds: Conflict- an evening of new writing in which each play was exactly 600 seconds (or 10 minutes long). 2019’s Postcards was inspired by real holiday messages.

Director/producer Jonathan Kaufman says ‘There is something magical about the short play evening - not least the diversity of the pieces and the fact that a small cast have to play so many diverse roles in such a short space of time. Playwrights love to see their work performed and with a partisan audience rooting for their favourite there’s often a highly charged atmosphere. You have been warned!’

The show features the acting talents of Spontaneous regulars Annie Aldington, Jimand Allotey, Annabel Dowler (Kirsty in Radio 4’s The Archers) William Hastings and David Sayers plus newcomers to the Spontaneous stable: James Jack Bentham and Emma Reade-Davies .
