Seamoss Theatre's Launch - Trans Abortion Play

Seamoss Theatre was born out of many needs and convergences. Finding a surprising lack of small professional theatre companies to join in the outer boroughs of East London, co-Founders Jessie and Kit met while working as drag kings with Soho Theatre, and quickly a strong creative partnership fostered between them. Coming to theatre in very different ways, Jessie and Kit each bring multiple different skills and experiences to the table - Kit an actor, playwright, and director, with hands-on pub-theatare experience, and Jessie with experience in any task imaginable while working on fringe theatre in Tokyo, now an emergent producer in plays and musicals. Together they realised they had as full a toolkit as two people could wish to create work, not just joining projects. They also share a passion for new British theatre writing and a wish to make space, not just for their own work as playwrights, but for other untold and challenging stories.

We were able to self-fund our first scratch night in February, and after its great success, are seeking funding for  research and development, including an industry reading, for our first full-length play, Trans Abortion Play by our very own Kit! We are well on our way with project planning, but need to hit this funding goal to assist with a bigger grant application to make this project happen!
