Open Wed - Sat 11am - 10pm. Award winning, artist-led studio theatre with a banging bar. St. James Boulevard, Newcastle. linktr.ee/alphabettitheatre
Our next Work in Progress slot is with BBC actor Tom Wells (Waterloo Road, EastEnders) who is working on his piece: 'The Departure'. It's tender, funny, and deeply human, exploring how we can sometimes be more honest with strangers than with those closest to us... Fri 11th Sept 7.30pm PWYF
We were very lucky to have Ambitious Motion Pictures capture our first Storyboard event in April. This marked the beginning of our exploration into what Alphabetti can and should be, a fantastic way to hit off our development. Check out the next Storyboard date, August 7th to get involved!

I am sceptical about local history-themed plays, many of which are a collection of local factoids but little more substance. I probably would have given this one a miss if it wasn't a review request. Thank goodness I didn't. Congratulations @evieh2012.bsky.social and @alphabettitheatre.bsky.social.
