On it’s second edition, project Urgências (urgencies) included 11 short plays by a very diverse group of portuguese authors, trying to answer the question “what do you have so urgent to tell me?”. Promoting a laboratory for new portuguese dramaturgy and a meeting point between authors and actors, Urgências 2006 was a landmark on imposing this project as a reference for the portuguese theatrical landscape. Simultaneously with the showing of the performance, acting and writing workshops took place and Editorial Cotovia joined the project by publishing the series of 17 short plays that were written for the two first editions of this project.
