Following an incredible response to our New Writing Scheme, we simply couldn't choose just one winner. With so much talent on display, we have decided to present two outstanding one-act comedies in a single evening of fresh, original theatre.
A Night of Two Acts showcases two brand-new scripts from emerging writers, brought to life by talented local performers and creatives. These will be full plays, not just readings, filled with costumes, props and set. This special event celebrates the very best in new writing, offering audiences an evening of laughter, creativity, and original storytelling.
Join us for a unique night of entertainment and discover some of the finest new writing on offer.
