Mental Magpie devised Seven for a Secret. The concept involves presenting evenings of new writing in quirky/non-traditional venues. The objectives for this production are to develop new work, build networks with actors, technical crew, venue managers etc. and to present new material in front of new audiences. Each of the evenings revolves around a set theme loosely following the old magpie rhyme i.e. 1 for sorrow, 2 for joy, 3 for a girl and so on.
