The Play Weavers

We met while attending a playwriting course at Chichester Festival Theatre, led by Lucy Flannery as part of LEAP (Learning, Education and Participation). The course focused on developing our writing and creating original work, and through it we came to know each other and each other’s plays. Our shared enthusiasm for seeing our work performed led us to form The Play Weavers. Planning began in the CFT café as we prepared an entry for the Chichester Fringe 2025. We were accepted into the two-week festival and staged our first show, Kaleidoscope, at 104 in The Hornet, Chichester. The evening sold out. We now hope to fill The Nest in June 2026 with our new show, Tapestry, as part of the Chichester Fringe.
