LONDON - JUNE 19: Emma Thompson and Gillian Anderson attend the backstage party following "24 Hour Plays" at The Old Vic Theatre on June 19, 2005 in London, England. The event saw six short plays, written and rehearsed in 24 hours, performed to raise funds for the Old Vic New Voices US/UK Exchange.

From What's On Stage:

Proceedings begin on the Saturday evening when six writers, six directors and up to 24 actors gather at the West End theatre, bringing no more than a prop and costume each. After working overnight and through the next day, the event culminates on Sunday evening when the resulting six ten-minute plays will be premiered before a live, gala audience. This year, the concept will be extended to budding actors, directors and writers who will be able to take part in a second event, sponsored by coffee chain Starbucks, on 31 July.
