WatchSteven Shawcroft leads rehearsal warm-up exercises and ice-breakers before putting a reading on its feet in just five hours!
Steven has been developing ‘Us’, a short play, over the last four months and worked with a cast of professional actors on Saturday to stand it up in front of an audience.
The feedback was good and Steven was great. Applause.
