SERVICE 

Everyman and Playhouse Theatre 

Director

Following workshop performances to audiences at Edge Hill and Bolton Universities, and with the support of YEP producer Bethany Howells, The Everyman Theatre, and the Dame Janet Suzman playwriting prize; this original short film is an adaptation of material in development for an eventual fully staged production.

Inspired by the creators’ own experiences, Service is a darkly funny peek inside the harsh world of the service industry. Developed by Young Everyman alumni, writer Mostyn Jones and director Martyna Puciato, the story dives into an enthralling world of late nights, long hours, and toxic friendships.

The screening was followed by a discussion of the issues depicted, with contributions from industry and mental health professionals. Guest panel included Olivia Masoja from POMOC, Oisin Keating, Nadia Anim, Mostyn Jones and Martyna Puciato
