"Three of the Best from 24:7" to land in Bolton!

Not content with launching 21 premières in Manchester, we have directed three of our best productions to the Octagon Theatre, Bolton!

During Festival Week, audience members were asked to rate each performance they saw. The results, backed up by the opinions of industry reviewers, give us our "Three of the Best"!

From Wednesday 16 - Friday 18 September, 5:30, Lub You and As We Forgive Them will all run each evening, starting at 7pm, in the following order:

5:30
By Alistair McDowall
Director: Clive Judd

Rob wants to be Tim's friend. He doesn't care
how Tim feels about this. Despite having to
resort to vicious insults, intimidation and
aggressive force, Rob is sure they'll be
best friends forever.
Recommended for ages 15 and over.


Lub You
By Eve Steele
Director: Ed Jones

‘I am in the bath with the baby that is called Bo-Bo.
I am doing a wee-wee on Bo-Bo’s tummy. Mummy says No Charlie. I don’t like Mummy. Daddy
doesn’t like her too.’
Seen through Charlie’s eyes, using music and physical theatre, Lub You explores the drama
of being a child.
Recommended for ages 12 and over.


As We Forgive Them
By Richard Vergette
Director: Andrew Pearson

America, November 2008: the new President is elected amidst an 'audacity of hope'. For newly elected Democrat Congressman, John Daniels,
this should be a time of celebration. Instead he must decide the fate of his daughter's murderer: should he exact revenge or grant redemption ...or both?
Recommended for ages 15 and over.

Investigate at the Octagon Theatre, Bolton

Then on Saturday 19 September, from 10am - 6pm there will be a special "Investigate" event, chaired by Martin Thomasson – co-writer (with Les Smith) of MEN Award-winning And Did Those Feet and Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Bolton.

5:30, Lub You and As We Forgive Them will be performed in a day-long event that gives time for analysis and discussion between each play with the writers, directors and cast. Where do the playwrights go from here and how would the audience like to see them move forward? Click here for more info.

Tickets for all of the above are available from the Octagon Theatre, Bolton website.
