Six Writers.
Six Newspapers.
Six New Short Plays.
The Daily Plays challenges SIX of Britain's most exciting emerging writers to respond to SIX different newspapers on each day of one week leading up to the Sunday. Each writer has just TWELVE hours to respond to their allocated newspaper and their allocated company have just TWELVE hours to rehearse. This process culminates in SIX brand new short plays all created in just ONE week.
