The Minutes

The Minutes is a play by British playwright Jack Thorne, known for his work on Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and His Dark Materials. This production focuses on a local council meeting, where a seemingly routine agenda unravels into something more unsettling. Thorne's writing often explores the complexities of community and the unspoken tensions beneath everyday interactions, and this play is a good example of that. Catch The Minutes on Friday, October 30, 2026, at the Firth J Chew Studio Theatre in Spokane. This smaller, more intimate space at the Spokane Civic Theatre is well-suited for a character-driven piece like this, allowing the audience to focus on the dialogue and performances. It’s a good fit for anyone interested in contemporary theater with a bit of a political edge.
