Zahra can't sleep. The sandman has clocked off. She's up for work tomorrow, too. But the hours, the minutes and the seconds are drifting by, with every toss of the sweaty sheet, every squeak of the bed. Frustration and panic are setting in. Zahra's thoughts, memories and dreams blur in this evocative and surreal play for voices, both human and parrot.

An introduction to Five Minutes of Doubt - An Anthology of Plays for Voices

5MOD is something that I have been collaborating on since 2016 with a group of UK based writers and performers. Initially starting out as a podcast, the project has now developed into its third series, of which ‘Can You Do That?’ is the second episode. Jay Lawrance (the founder and main producer for the site) is interested in promoting new writers’ work that can be translated into a five minute play featuring one to three characters.

Once a script has been submitted and given the green light, the writers then get the opportunity to record and produce their work. The developing piece is then sent to me to create a visual interpretation. The results culminate in short films and stand alone recordings that have been collectively released as Series One, Two and Three.

5MOD are always on the lookout for new writers, new scripts and new ideas. This post also functions as an open call for Series Four and Five. No fees, no hassle. Go to 5mod.net and contact us on any of the linked social accounts, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
