Why is this play significant?

The break-out work from the inaugural - and sadly only - Micro Musicals season, highlighting new musicals. Spittin' Distance would go on to workshop at the National Theatre Studio.

Notes

○ Spittin' Distance was one of three musicals presented as part of the Micro Musicals season. Created as part of the Stephen Joseph Theatre's 50th anniversary celebrations, the short season presented three new musicals sharing an ensemble company; like the First Foot seasons in 2002 / 2003, the Micro Musicals were presented on a limited budget in The McCarthy Theatre. The other Micro Musicals were The Jonah Boy and A Beginner's Guide To Cybershopping.
