A Stone writer’s play is taking centre stage in July at a festival of performances inspired by the Staffordshire Hoard.
The New Vic Theatre’s Hoard Festival will feature four main stage plays, two studio shows and lots of storytelling and art events, all inspired by the discovery of the Staffordshire Hoard in 2009. Some of the pieces will be works of imagination; some of history and fact; others will be provocations.
Frazer Flintham’s play The Throne is one of the festival’s main stage plays. It’s a warm-hearted comedy about an eccentric group of Staffordshire Armitage Shanks workers who meet up in the ‘local’ in a tale of lavs, life and learning to love.
Stone-born Frazer is an established playwright and has worked with theatres across the country, as well as regularly writing for BBC Radio Drama.
