New Creative Opportunity for All

Isolated But Open

Voices from Across The Shutdown 

On 16th March 2020, at a critical point in the coronavirus outbreak, theatres across the country began to close their doors. An entire industry was slammed shut to artists and audiences alike. 

On 17th March 2020, Papatango launched Isolated But Open: Voices from Across The Shutdown, to inspire creativity and share brilliant new stories at a time when people need them most.  

The result is ten new monologues, chosen from hundreds of submissions, representing the freshest, most vital and most exciting voices from across the country at this unprecedented time. 

In addition, the award-winning playwrights Rachel De-Lahay and Anders Lustgarten have provided two world premiere pieces. 

All twelve monologues will be filmed by hand-picked actors working in self-isolation, and the films will be shared online, free to view. They will also be made available to readers by Nick Hern Books, in a free playtext format.

How it works Self-isolating or losing the theatre tribe is tough, including for being creative. So we’ve set aside £2000 to support 20 artists to create despite coronavirus. We invite you to pen a monologue of up to 5 minutes (2 – 4 pages) on any topic. Please only submit one monologue per person. We’ll pick 10 and pay £100 for each. Then we’ll cast 10 actors to self-film these for £100 each. The films will be shared online for free so everyone, wherever they are, can enjoy new writing. We would like to assess the monologues anonymously so please make sure there is no name included in the document. We will contact writers by email. Share your monologue by midnight, 31 March.

Hanna at the Arcola

4 stars for Hanna at the @arcolatheatre

What does it mean to be a mother – and what does it mean to not be a mother? These are the questions that Sam Potter grapples with in her new play Hanna, a heart-wrenching and heart-warming one woman piece currently on at the Arcola, and, spoiler alert, there may not be an answer to either question.

The concept for the play seems, at least, simple: a young mum discovers that, due to a hospital…
