The Joy of Text Savoy Theatre

The Joy of Text Savoy Theatre

The Joy of Text Comes to Savoy Theatre For One Night Only

by Staff Writer
March 9, 2022
Reading Time: 3 mins read

The funniest text messages from the public will be read out by the world’s greatest actors live on stage in the West End…  and the producers of The Joy Of Text want to hear from you!

For one night only, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Denise Gough,  Tamsin Greig, Pearl Mackie, Aki Omoshaybi, Nicholas Pinnock, Iwan Rheon, Dougray Scott, Catherine Tate and Indira Varma,
will read out funny, tragic or tragically funny text conversations …with many more stars to be announced.

We all have read (and screenshot) funny, tragic or tragically funny text conversations on our mobiles. From a toe curling apology after accidentally sending “Hey babe, you up?” to your mum at 3am to an epic neighbourhood Whatsapp drama about the recycling bins.

       

Now inspired by an hilarious exchange between her mum and brother that she has kept on her phone for years, film and theatre director Josie Rourke is putting together a fast and raucous “I can’t believe you typed that” West End evening in support of the annual Platform Presents Playwrights Prize.

The growing cast includes Pippa Bennett-Warner, Denise Gough, Tamsin Greig, Pearl Mackie, Aki Omoshaybi, Nicholas Pinnock, Iwan Rheon, Dougray Scott, Catherine Tate and Indira Varma, with many more to be added in the coming days.

Rourke and her co-producers Isabella Macpherson of Platform Presents and Amy Gardner of Finite Films are today issuing a call for members of the public to send in their funniest and most cherished text messages in the hope they’ll become part of the show.

“You can send your screengrabs of great exchanges or type them out and sent them to
[email protected] by April 22*. Let us know if you want us to change any names to protect the innocent!”

As part of the night’s fun, guests at the Savoy Theatre will also have the chance to bid to have their own favourite text exchanges performed on stage.

Tickets for The Joy of Text will go on sale on Wednesday 9 March at 10am  through ATG Tickets at www.ATGTickets.com

       

* By submitting a text conversation, you (a) agree to the conversation being performed, in whole or in part, at the event, (b) confirm that you have all necessary rights and consents to authorise such
performance and (c) acknowledge that the
producers of the event are not under any obligation to include the conversation or any part of it in the event.
