My part in documenting the National Theatre of Scotland’s “Five Minute Theatre” – a series of short plays streamed live on the internet.

 

This year performers took up the challenge of a ‘protest’ theme, to coincide with the international day of protest and human rights – May Day.

 

See more information on Five Minute Theatre, including details of a second season in 2012 here.
