Playing With Grown-Ups

About This Project

Kat Portman Smith, Producer

About: A new play, ‘Playing with Grown-Ups’, was staged at Theatre 503 in May 2013 and was been given the chance to go to New York for a three week run as part of the ‘Brits off Broadway’ festival. A four hander by writer Hannah Patterson, it is a wry, provocative look at what it is to be a woman today, in a society that tells us we can have it all and our ambitions can be unlimited.

Outcomes: Following a successful showing at the Brits Off Broadway Festival, during which time the writer and producer built new contacts in the US, the plan is for the play to tour the UK this year. This will include a run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

“The opportunity the writer and me, the producer to be there in New York and to spend that time with the show definitely helped to advance our careers.”
