ALT B: ORIGINS: Identity – Scratch Night

Manuka Productions presents – Origins: Identity

Join them for an evening of discovering new writing from exciting, emerging female creatives from the African diaspora.

Origins is a night where creatives and theatre makers can share new work. For their debut event ‘Identity’, Manuka are excited to provide a platform for Black female writers, with the aim of giving their work further development and future life.

Manuka Productions was founded by actor-writers Chantelle Alle (Hijack, We Are Lady Parts) and Melissa Saint (I Hate You, Ghosts). They are all about creating a safe, supportive space to champion and create opportunities for people of the global majority.

This event is presented as part of the Bush Theatre’s ALT B programme – a platform for creatives, makers and performers across artforms.
