A Play Called Page is a contemporary drama about memory, authorship, and the stories we rely on to understand who we are. Set in a present-day coastal town, the play follows three people whose lives intersect when a long-forgotten manuscript resurfaces in the archives of a small community theatre.
Charlotte Whitmore plays Lena Page, a local historian who has spent years cataloguing the town’s cultural heritage. When she discovers an anonymous, unfinished script hidden among old playbills, she becomes convinced it holds the key to a family mystery she has never been able to solve.
Elliot Harrington takes on the role of Mark Ellery, a document restoration specialist brought in to authenticate the manuscript. Idealistic but burdened by his own past failures, Mark becomes drawn into Lena’s search for the truth—at times helping her, at times impeding her, as the script begins to mirror their own unresolved tensions.
Amelia Clarke appears as Vivian Cole, a former Broadway performer now teaching community theatre workshops. Vivian is the first to recognise the emotional power of the rediscovered script and pushes for it to be staged. As rehearsals begin, she becomes both mentor and provocateur, challenging Lena and Mark to confront what the manuscript reveals about legacy, authorship, and the narratives we choose to preserve.
Blending naturalistic dialogue with moments of staged “script within the script,” A Play Called Page explores how personal history collides with collective memory, and how unfinished stories can force us to rewrite the versions of ourselves we thought were already complete. It is an intimate, character-driven piece—quietly tense, surprisingly warm, and ultimately hopeful.
