RUN AT IT LAUGHING - 10 new comedies by Mark Ravenhill
A world where everyone is a fool. Identities are mistaken and swapped. Misunderstandings abound. Sex and money are on everyone’s mind. And somehow everything works out for the best.
Bawdy, farcical and humane, Run At It Laughing is an epic celebration of comedy and our shared humanity.
Based on scenarios first published in Italy in 1611, Run At It Laughing is a cycle of 10 90-minute comedies presented as rehearsed readings over two days.
Each play can be enjoyed by itself or as part of the sequence.
Playwright Mark Ravenhill (whose work has been produced by the RSC, National Theatre and Royal Court) has written all 10 new plays and directs over 100 actors, as part of Run At It Shouting’s professional actor development.
All profits from this event will be donated to the Nia Project, which delivers cutting edge services to end violence against women and children.
