A Festival of New Writing
| £5 | Full Price |
Short plays by local writers will be performed script-in-hand in the informal atmosphere of the theatre’s Studio.
The Festival has grown out of successful play readings at the Guild of Players’ Friday night events in the Studio. This provides acting opportunities for members unable to commit to a full Main House production.
