To celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, those who are part of the Marina’s Unspoken Stories playwriting project have penned short plays inspired by her life, loves, achievements and tribulations.

Brought to life by a superb professional cast and creative team, these vibrant new plays will be a hilarious and touching exploration of what it means to be ‘Queen’.

With professional cast rehearsing plays at the Marina Theatre, directed by Amy Wyllie, the project will be overseen by company in residence, Spinning Wheel Theatre.

This is the second time the Marina Theatre has run Unspoken Stories, the first being last year where locals had weekly workshops with a professional playwright to develop short plays inspired by and linked to The Queen.

A spokesman said: "Join us at the Marina Theatre at 7.30pm on Wednesday, June 1 for a night of varied drama, fun, laughs and touching moments, as we celebrate Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee.

Tickets cost £5, plus an 85p booking fee per ticket via its website.

Special souvenir
