Selected Videos from the Gi60 International One-Minute Play Festival
Meron has been a regular contributor to the Gi60 International One-Minute Play Festival since 2005, having had several of his short pieces performed in England and New York City through this event, including selections for the Greatest Hits events for the 10th Anniversary.
During most years, 100 one-minute plays are selected for production in Gi60 each summer, with 50 being performed at Brooklyn College in New York City, and 50 in various venues in Northern England (most recently at Dean Clough Mills). Meron's work has regularly been featured in both festivals, and he has also contributed to the Gi60 Blog and contributed three plays to the anthology section of the Gi60 book: One Minute Plays: A Practical Guide to Tiny Theatre, published by Routledge.
Presented chronologically below are a sampling of videos from Meron's Gi60 plays that have been performed as part of the Brooklyn & UK events over the years.
