Development projects

The projects have clear developmental aim; research and development potential production material.

Festival of Playreadings & Scratch Development Projects to test out new ideas and breathe life into the translated works of international playwrights old and new.

For many people, a ‘play-reading’ conjures an image of a group of people sitting around reading a script – which may not be enthralling. ‘Origins/Origens’, co-produced with the Brazilian Embassy in 2005, led StoneCrabs to re-evaluate the concept. By ‘moving’ the play with script in hand, professional directors and actors bring the printed page to life in a very immediate way and provide an intriguing glimpse into the acting process.
