FIRST (work-in-progress)





Stage Play written by Emma Webb
Directed by Emel Holifield



Role: JAMES


"My mother always calls me a disappointment..."


This was the first line of a script written overnight for a 24hr Play Project at the Cornerstone Arts Centre in Didcot. Since then, this beautiful script has continued to grow and another extract, performed as a monologue, appeared at a scratch night at the Old Fire Station in Oxford. A full version of the play is currently in development.


The play follows a series of 'first's in James and Eva's relationship. From their first date, to the first death and the first time she sees him wearing a dress...


"A delicate, subtle and moving performance."

- Oxfordshire Theatre Makers
