🎉 Exciting News: The Recordings of 15 Minutes Live Are Here! 🎙️🎭

We are thrilled to announce that the recordings of 15 Minutes Live from 2021 are being released this month! 🗓️✨

15 Minutes Live was an unforgettable afternoon of brand-new short plays written for radio, performed with on-stage sound effects 🎧, audience participation 🎤, and live music 🎵—all brought to life in front of a live audience.

In 2021, we partnered with Slung Low to commission some extraordinary playwrights 🖋️ to create original short plays, recorded live at The Holbeck 🎭. These plays feature the incredible writing talent of:

⭐ Aina J Khan
⭐ Ben Tagoe
⭐ Claire-Marie Seddon
⭐ Rani Moorthy
⭐ Ray Sesay

Brought to life by a fantastic team: 🎭 Aisha Khan, Alan Lane, Carolyn Eden, Dan Norford, Heather Fenoughty, Joanna Resnick, Lladel Bryant, Lucy Hind, Lucy Rafton, Lydia Hassoon, Matt Angove, Ruth Middleton, Ruth Saxton, Sujeeth, and Zoe Iqbal.

Whether you were in the audience back in 2021 🎟️ or are discovering these vibrant plays for the first time 🎧, we can’t wait for you to enjoy 15 Minutes Live! 🎉💫
