About the show
Forgotten is a new one-act play from Notional Theatre, written and directed by first-time writer and director Richard Wright. The play begins from a simple premise: everything we are is made up of stories — but what happens when a story can no longer be told? The piece explores a world where creativity meets bureaucracy and asks what happens to stories when they die. The show runs 50 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A compact, thoughtfully constructed new play from a first-time writer and director — the kind of debut that makes the Fringe worth attending. The central question of what happens to forgotten stories gives the piece genuine emotional resonance without requiring any prior knowledge.
