About
Cue Line
CueLine is a creative theatre partnership between fellow actors, producers, directors, and longtime friends, Matthew Platt & Piers Newman. Based in south east London, CueLine was founded in 2019, and through collaboration and over 40 years’ combined theatrical expertise, brings exciting, accessible, affordable theatre to local audiences.
Passionate about the power of engaging theatre and supporters of lesser-known works, often with challenging themes, Matt & Piers are both versatile performers, who love nothing more than tackling a well-written script in their spare time.
This production of Ten Men was first performed at West Norwood’s South London Theatre in March 2019, directed by Elaine Heath and subsequently staged to 5-star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022.
