Underground Theatre

Based on what I've posted here over the past few months, you could be forgiven for thinking that Come As Soon As You Hear are concerned with little more than infiltrating the Dublin night life.

But, in fact, since long before we started swapping clothes and hosting chat roulette parties, Come As Soon As You Hear have been making plays. There have been plays at Electric Picnic, plays in the Project Arts Centre, plays in nightclubs and now there are going to be plays in The Basement.

The Basement is an underground performance and rehearsal space that has been our base of operations for the past year or so and the organisers of a series of 'Scriptscribe' workshops felt it was about time we included it in our plays.

Six writers (including yours truly) have drawn inspiration from The Basement and come up with an original 20 minute script. Some of these will eventually be performed in The Basement but, for now, we're hoping you'll come along and check out the scripts-in-progress.

This evening and tomorrow evening there will be rehearsed readings of the 20 min scripts in The Basement (Clarendon House, Clarendon Street, Dublin 2).

Come. Listen. Discuss. Wine. Whine.

P.S. I suspect my own script is slightly more 'in progress' than the others, so if you encounter me over the next 48 hours, expect to find me either frantically typing or trying to compose a song for deceased beauty pageant contestants....
