THEATRE IS THE CURE (International)

I was very fortunate to have three of my monologues performed. Kudos to Hannah and everyone involved in this wonderful international creative platform. Terrific work!

I've watched all of them and been fortunate to be a playwright for one evening. Beautifully produced, the producers make sure that there is dramaturgical/rewriting support and adequate rehearsal to ensure the medium is used to best advantage. Must see.

I write as both a contributor to and an audience member at THEATRE IS THE CURE (Friday 1 May 2020). I was lucky enough that my short lockdown/quarantine monologue, LAST RITES (the story of a man's epic journey to see his dying mother before lockdown/quarantine kicks in), was part of a night of lockdown monologues. Beautifully performed by Alex Wells, and sensitively directed by Hannah Logan (the TITC organiser), it was a delight, even at 4am and some 5,500 miles away in London! Hannah had helped me to rewrite what was originally a monologue set in England and relocate it to New England. It was a wonderful, fast-paced operation that even in a tiny way made me feel like a Beatle re-cutting an album for the American market! I loved the whole experience, remain indebted to Alex and Hannah for bringing my words to painful and funny life, and look forward to sharing LAST RITES (The American Version) far and wide when I get the recording of it. Best wishes to all at this worst of times! Martin Keady

Always interesting, fun, and diverse. Love that there are people from all over joining in one virtual place. Enjoy it every week.

Fantastic! I participated as a playwright and was wowed by the level of talent from directors, actors and writers. This online event invites artists to collaborate virtually and connect with some fine storytelling. Kudos to the producers working tirelessly to get this event off its feet every week! I'll be back to enjoy more micro-stories. Join me!

Such an incredible way to spend an evening in quarantine with so many from around the world! So much talent, from the writing, to the acting, to the direction - all around a well produced and thought out concept. This brought some much needed light to a dime time!

So much fun! You never know what to expect. Combine playwrights, actors, and directors to produce original work under the constraints of time and distance, and still they come up with creative moments, heart, and lots of laughs. Add a virtual audience and Theatre is the Cure builds community every Friday night. That is the cure.

I had the pleasure of participating as a playwright for this event. It was amazing seeing actors, directors and writers come together from all over the world to deliver a night of entertainment for those of us stuck inside during this pandemic. Definitely check it out.

I had a great time as both a director and writer for “Cure.” Super fun way to collaborate with people you’ve never had the chance to work with. An awesome way to scout potential talent for upcoming gigs! A sweet way to spend an evening listening to stories and witnessing the creativity of playwrights. A huge thanks to all those involved.

I participated as a playwright in the inaugural event on World Theatre Day, March 27th. It was a fantastic experience. I enjoyed the actor/director team that brought my monologue to life and I enjoyed watching the rest of the fantastically written, acted, and directed monologues. As an emerging playwright who focuses on monologues and short plays, this was a unique virtual opportunity that was fun to be part of and I can't thank Hannah Logan enough for her hard work. I gave it a Sweet-Sour rating because of my second time participating but as a director on April 3rd, the live link was never established and there was a lot of delay in the communication to the audience/directors about what was happening and it was just frustrating waiting for so long. I do appreciate that Hannah made it right by having them all recorded via Zoom and posted for everyone to view. I just think from week to week, there could be more organization but this event is doing important work in this difficult time of COVID-19 and I would participate again, which I was offered as a result of the April 3rd issues. Thank you, Hannah for creating this weekly event! I'd recommend everyone tune in or sign-up to participate.

LOVED everything about this!!
Collecting talent from all over the place, fabulously written and directed, and fantastic acting!
Can't wait to see more of this!

I had the pleasure of being one of the playwrights for this online theatrical event! It was an amazing experience and the writers, actors and directors were all fantastic! Hannah Logan is presenting this every Friday evening. What a treat during these crazy times. I highly recommend everybody tuning in. It is free but a minimal donation is suggested.

A great challenge and an amazing bunch of people to work with! Sharp writing, incisive and insightful directing; top-notch performances to delight in; a super piece to add to my repertoire. It was a privilege (and a blast!) to be part of the event.

What a sweet way to spend an hour of quarantine. Loved hearing such variety of monologues. I laughed until I cried during one of them April 10. Good writing. EXCELLENT ACTING AND DIRECTING.

This is the voice of us all- living in quarantine- first rate writing acting and directing- front row seats. A great show!
