And as you know Dirty Protest like to cram new writing into all the time and space they can get their Dirty paws on. So we have sent five writers to see Katherine Chandler's award winning play, Parallel Lines, and giving them less than a week to pen their responses. Join us for five brand new ten-minute plays while the ink is still wet!

Written by Alan Harris, Paul Jenkins, Tracy Harris, Kelly Jones and David Harris.

Directed by Matthew Bulgo and Julia Thomas.

The Rapid Response will invade the Parallel Lines set, after the show at Chapter Arts Centre, at 9pm on Friday the 29th November.

Stay around or come along for exciting new theatre and the usual Dirty fun. This event is free but if you like it why not chuck us a couple of quid!
