‘The Stories You Want To Tell’, a film created and performed by Kyra members and funded by a Golden Award from The Rank Foundation, has been shortlisted as part of the 37 Plays project. 37 Plays is a national playwriting project led by the Royal Shakespeare Company and their partner theatres. They were looking for ‘the stories of our times: the comedies, the tragedies and the untold histories‘. The chosen 37 plays will be performed script-in-hand across the UK and online in autumn 2023.

This means that out of over 2,000 entries to the competition, our play has made it into the top 71! This is an amazing achievement for our members, both in front of the camera and in the backroom, who made the film – and for Thunk-It Theatre and York Theatre Royal who were our partners in the project.
