ELE Group presents Fragments

New short plays by local playwrights. ELE Group (East London & Essex Playwriting Group) showcases a selection of new short plays written by local writers in a rehearsed reading with professional actors and director.

Fragments is a collection of individual short plays that together piece together the fragments, trials and tribulations, wins and losses that make life whole.

The plays too are fragments or short pieces of writing that may be self-contained, part of a bigger story and all come together for this one show.

ELE Group is a member-led collective of playwrights that meets monthly at the Queen’s Theatre, Hornchurch. The writers, and often the stories they tell, are rooted in this eastern fringe of London, Havering and south Essex.

The group was formed in 2016 following participation on a course at the Queen’s Theatre led by playwright Philip Ayckbourn. ELE Group has since regularly put on a series of well-received, often sold-out rehearsed readings on the Foyer Stage.
