Pizza & Plays

This January we are launching Pizza & Plays, an exciting new project for young people 18-35 with the National Theatre in London. Our weekly workshops will provide a unique opportunity to read and discuss some of the most iconic, brilliant plays of the past century which focus on themes of faith, belief and identity, whilst eating pizza together.

We will also have a go at writing our own plays, drawing on our own life stories and experiences as inspiration. What makes a great character? What is narrative structure? And how do we take our audience on an unforgettable journey? The workshops will be led by a professional writer and director from the National Theatre. They will be creative, practical, thought-provoking, sociable and – most importantly – fun! This is a fantastic chance to learn new skills, explore new ideas, debate new opinions and meet new people.

Following the workshops, you will then have the chance to rehearse and perform a brand new play at the National Theatre next Summer, working alongside some of the country’s leading professional actors and a company of up to two hundred community performers from all over London. The show will be an epic celebration of the city, bringing together an enormous, diverse group of people from all walks of life to create an extraordinary piece of theatre on one of the oldest, biggest stages in London.

We will send you an short application form upon registering for a ticket. (Please note that your place is only secured once you’ve received a personal confirmation from 3FF.)

If you’re not able to make a taster but would love to join the project – don’t despair! Just send us a brief expression of interest here and we will get in touch.

Absolutely no previous experience necessary, everyone welcome!

These workshops are the first part of our new two-year partnership with the National Theatre. There will be exciting opportunities to get involved with other activities throughout the year, including trips to see shows and backstage tours.
