PRODUCING (DECEMBER 2021)

Five Plays returned at the Young Vic in December 2021 with a new set of directors and writers. 

December 2021 saw James Barnes, David Furlong, David Gilbert, Abigail Sewell and Khadifa Wong direct works by babirye bukilwa, Gael Le Cornec, Martin Crimp, Erinn Dhesi and Mufaro Makubika. They will create five, five-minute plays, rehearsed and staged over five days with five different casts. 

Five Plays was launched in 2013, and to date has worked with 100 writers and directors. Each iteration sees five writers writing a five-minute play, rehearsed and staged over five days with five different casts. Five Plays is just one of the ways the Young Vic works with early-career directors and theatre-makers to develop their craft.
