What a pleasure this piece was to watch in March! "Live and Learn" was written by Ian Cragg @iancragg , quite a long piece for the scratch network but the team did a fantastic job in the two hours they had to rehearse! Director Lewis Bray @fumeactinglab runs a workshop with Neurodivergent Actors so it was fantastic to have his expertise working with our cast Anna Roy @annaroyactor, Josh Fitzsimmons @joshfitzsimmons99 and Sam Prior @samcprior "Live and Learn" has since gone on to be accepted at the Boss New Plays event at @royalcourtliv on 5th June 👏 so grab yourself a ticket and go watch and support new writing if you can!! . . . #bossnewplay #liverpoolscratchnetwork #neurodivergentactors #everymantheatre #scratchnight

April last year, Writer Zac McKeown submitted his first piece "What I Wish You Knew" to the Scratch Network and had it performed by @joshfitzsimmons99 and directed by @zarzarmb. Zac then went on to turn this heartfelt monologue about a son visiting his father's grave with regrets into a powerful short film starring @bobbyschofield93, which we all watched to kick off the One Year Anniversary Celebration in Feb at @royalcourtliv. It's now been submitted to film festivals and had fantastic feedback, huge congrats to Zac for taking that first step last year and getting his work off the page! 👏 . . . #filmfestivals #shortfilm #whatiwishyouknew #liverpoolscratchnetwork #liverpooltalent

Best known from his performances in G'Wed, Midas Man and most recently filming in Saviour, Cam captivated our February audience with his multi character performance of "Wavelengths", a snippet from a self written play exploring the quiet, crackling world of amateur (ham) radio. 👏 Looking forward to seeing the next installment! . . . #campbellwallace #liverpoolscratchnetwork #scratchnight #liverpooltheatre #newwriting

"How Far Is Heaven?" by Emma Vaudrey is set in contemporary Liverpool.

"Souvenirs" was a piece written by El Atkinson @elatkinson.creative and directed by Zach Holzberg @hack.ary This was a reworked piece that El had taken to the Edinburgh Fringe last year.
