Scratch That Itch - The Pilot

NEW WORK. NEW TALENT. QUEER THEATRE.A night of new writing, new directors, new actors and work that’s still finding its shape. Come join us for our first queer scratch night. We are bringing writers, actors, directors and audiences together to experiment, play and see what happens when new work gets into the room.We’ll be sharing a selection of 10-minute plays, each rehearsed on the day by actors and directors from our growing creative pool. Expect new stories, bold ideas, weird worlds and plenty of room for things to surprise us.This is about giving artists the space, time and people to play, experiment and connect. We’re building a supportive, collaborative environment where writers, actors and directors can take creative risks, meet new collaborators and try something out in front of an audience.
