Dear Reader,
A Unique Theatre Contest Plus The Kolhapure Sisters' Tribute To Their FatherWhen drama or playwriting competition winners have a certain random quality to them, why not make it official?
According to a report by Katy Lewis in bbc.com, the winner of a competition to find new plays in the East of England is to be chosen at random.
"The Play Lottery," she writes, "will see a writer get their work professionally staged at the Mercury Theatre in Colchester in April.
"Organiser Jamie Rycroft said: "In a way, all playwriting competitions are lotteries...So we're giving every playwright - however wacky, unorthodox or just plain bonkers their idea - an equal shot at being staged."
The contest is open to residents of the area, has to be original, have one performer and be about an hour long. "The winning play will be staged as a script-in-hand, work-in-progress reading on one night, with a professional performer and director, and the writer will get feedback from established playwrights."
The winner will literally be picked from.a hat...luck of the draw cannot be more exciting for theatre. It levels the playing field for aspiring writers, and the audience can expect to be in for a surprise!
Watch on the MTG site, an interview with the Kolhapure Sisters -- Padmini, Shivangi and Tejaswini-- as they talk of carrying forward the musical legacy of their father, Pandit Pandharinath Krishnarao Kolhapure, by organizing Veena Vardayini – An Indian Musical Concert in his honour.
"Theatre exists only because it is overwhelming, because its acting is astonishing. Where a theatre and its acting are merely 'good,' merely 'correct,' merely 'in the proper style,' theatre dies a slow death."
- Robert Cohen
