Fast & Loose - How long does it take to make a play?

How long does it take to make a play? Months, years, decades? What if you had only twenty-four hours?

A bold and often breathless experiment in playmaking and inspiring creativity, all housed in the Lyric over twenty-four hours. From 9pm on Friday four playwrights have only 12 hours to craft a new short play. At 9am the following day, four directors and casts will have a further 12 hours to make the play, which premier that very Saturday night in the Lyric's Naughton Studio.

The results are often unpredictable, unique and uplifting, showcasing some of the finest theatre and creative artists working in Northern Ireland.
