  • Pendon Writers` Circle
    by rsc at 16:17 on 05 October 2007
    We are a small and very new writers’ circle reaching out to like minded groups in the south east of England. I don’t know about you but we are going through a bit of a lean patch at the moment. Even an inspiring talk from that well known author H.F. Cataxian has failed to get the creative juices flowing but as chair of the group I’m determined that we should try something new, different and exciting.

    With that in mind we have commissioned the celebrated playwright Alan Ayckbourn to turn the story of our meetings and the story of our stories into a celebratory evening. The result is his sixty-ninth full length play entitled Improbable Fiction. This will take place in December with the help of our partner organisation for this innovative project, the Redbridge Stage Company (http://www.redbridgestage.co.uk)

    We hope you will be able to join us for this exciting event - why not plan a pre Christmas outing?

    Sounds very interesting.

    If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction
    (Twelfth Night)

    Alan Ayckbourn's latest hilarious comedy features one of his most daring ideas yet. Six aspiring yet, truthfully, hopeless authors meet to discuss their work. Among them are writers of historical romances and children’s literature who are finding it difficult to start writing, and a crime writer who can’t stop. A creator of extremely complicated science fiction, a librettist without a musical partner and the chairman, who can only produce tedious instruction booklets, make up the rest of the team. This ill assorted bunch find themselves at a loss as to how to proceed until mysteriously they find themselves entering the worlds of their own creation. Sharp comedy and affectionate satire characterize this zany, imaginative play which celebrates the enduring power of storytelling from one of the theatre’s most inventive storytellers.



    Sounds fun :)
