Agent 160 Presents Agent 160
Agent 160 Theatre Company – named after playwright Aphra Behn’s code-name when she was a spy – present fourteen new short pieces (some in Welsh) over two nights, commissioned from a pool of writers from across the British Isles, in Agent 160 Presents Agent 160.
Currently women write just 17 per cent of all produced plays in the UK – a statistic Agent 160 wishes to address. The pieces are rehearsed in all three cities, coming together for performances at Chapter Arts (Cardiff), Theatre503 (London) and The Arches (Glasgow).
