IMDb

It is morning in a glamorous hotel room in London. A young man and woman are playing a game. But is Scrabble the only game being played? The two players stake their claim on the board and score points against each other in more ways than one. The power switches hands more often than the letter bag and suddenly there’s a whole lot more at stake than just triple-word scores.

This piece was written and performed by Sophie Winkleman (Peep Show, The Chronicles of Narnia) with newcomer Freddie Windsor, both of whom share a passion for Scrabble.

Sophie Winkleman first began writing with the Cambridge Footlights. The show she co-wrote and performed in garnered the Footlights its first Perrier nomination in twenty years. She wrote her first film with Ben Miller which is in development with the UK Film Council. As an actor, she is a member of the National Youth Theatre, and has performed in numerous stage productions, including George Bernard Shaw’s Man and Superman and Gallileo’s Daughter, both directed by Peter Hall and Moliere’s Don Juan, directed by Thea Sharrock, and has performed at the RSC directed by Lawrence Boswell. Film and television work includes The Chronicles of Narnia, Shattered, Peep Show, Keen Eddie, White Teeth, Poirot, The Trial of Tony Blair, Harry and Paul, Chasing Alice, Robin Hood and The Palace.

Sophie is currently working on a new US sitcom called 100 Questions that is scheduled for release later this year.
