    Q&A: Short+Sweet's Ashton Brown

    Headshot

    Ashton Brown is a writer and an actor in Short+Sweet – he tells us what he’s been up to.

    How did you get involved with Short + Sweet?
    I was asked to act in a Short + Sweet piece last year as a moving chair.
    This year’s festival was a natural decision as I had just started a theatre company with Kat Glass and we had a new short piece of theatre we were dying to put on.  

    Tell us something about the play(s):
    All My Clients are Lonely is the first play to be put on by the new theatre company, I’m Not Content Productions. It is my first public attempt at writing and it promises to be rude, crude, funny and entertaining. It reflects on human interactions, the games we inevitably play with one another and the desire for power.

    Other than the play you’re involved in, which plays are you looking forward to seeing?
    All of them. Really.

    What about audiences?
    I know it’s a cliché of Short+Sweet but the good thing about ten minute theatre is that if you don’t like the play you are currently watching it’s only a few minutes till the next play takes over. Even people with short attention spans can be an audience member in Short+Sweet which means that everyone can come! Because it covers such a wide range of theatre types and the stories are all so very different it means that everyone will find something they like.
