Craig Taylor’s One Million Tiny Plays About Britain were originally printed weekly in The Guardian.  Ranging in length from a line to two pages; some were hilarious; others moving, some thought-provoking but all inspired by the places and people of Great Britain.  Don’t miss the first chance to see a selection of Craig’s tiny plays performed at Live Theatre. 

Audiences are also invited to provide four writers with ideas to create a tiny play to be written and performed during the course of the evening.

Celia, a beautiful young English teacher has started a new life in Paris. But when she takes on a French-Congolese pupil, a relationship develops that starts to unravel dark truths from her past.

Brimming with humour, rage and longing, this gripping play is both a minute exploration of an increasingly  hazardous romantic entanglement and an insight into the tensions around class, race, language and identity that lie at the heart of present-day South Africa.
