TRADING LOCAL is 18 new pieces from 18 writers in 18 shops.
Some writers are experienced, for some this is the first time they have written for theatre………….
Creative Producer Sheila Hannon co-founded Show of Strength in 1986 and was joined in 2005 by Gill Loats as Associate Producer. Between them they have a wealth of experience and networks in Bristol, across the South-West and beyond.
Show Of Strength has produced new work in non theatre spaces for over twenty years, and created three informal, intimate and accessible new venues in Bristol – Since 2008 we have taken to the streets and shops and now perform in ‘found’ spaces in and around Bristol.
Since 1986 Show of Strength has worked with emerging writers, performers and directors at the beginnings of their careers, as well as established and well- known theatre practitioners.
Writers we have worked with, commissioned or we have selected through submission requests.
The 20 Bristol writers selected from 150 who submitted scripts for our 2006 production Waiting.
