New Readings 2021/22

New Readings

New Readings programme platform is aimed at encouraging and promoting young playwrights. The fourth edition of this creative laboratory mentored by Simona Hamer presents short plays by Nina Jakulin Vavpotič, Ana Lorger, Katja Markič, Iva Š. Slosar and Nika Švab. This year’s point of departure were the novels The Great Gatsby by F. S. Fitzgerald and Čudežni Feliks (The Miraculous Felix) by Andrej Hieng, included in the matura secondary-school-leaving exam reading list. They generated five very interesting short plays, diverse in genre and content, which will be presented in the format of stage reading.
