2008 Inaugural
24-Hour Theatre Challenge

6 - Writers
6 - Directors

...and only 24 hours to get it all together!

The 2008 Inaugural 24-hour Theatre Challenge has come and gone and has proved to be a resounding success!

6 writers - 6 directors - 18 actors
all randomly matched on the day
The writers had just 12 hours to each write a 10-minute play.

At 8am, the finished play was handed over to the directors and actors, who had 12 hours from read-through to performance at 8pm Saturday.


After 24 Hours of exhausting, exciting, challenging writing, directing and rehearsal, a full auditorium was treated to a remarkeable potpourri of plays - a disparate mix of comedy and drama, especially remarkeable for the quality of the finished productions		What Goes Around	Enclosed Spaces

		Event Director Mike Hudson - who brought the 24hr Theatre Challenge concept to New Zealand, says; “the Challenge provides the perfect mix of structure and mayhem for the participants to be challenged and for the audience to have a great night out"
