Ten pieces of new writing, curated by Peter Stevens, Guy Jones and Mark Vinson

Match referee - Celia Delaney

Performances: Tuesday 15 to Saturday 19 August 2023, Old Fire Station

South London Theatre is again running an evening of 10 varied short plays (each running up to 10 minutes) as a chance for new and experienced writers to see their original work on stage. Due to popular demand, the run this year has been extended to five nights!

Every year we give writers the chance to have a piece of new writing performed. This year we chose the theme, 'Sporty Shorts' for our playwrights to grapple with, and set the brief that the pieces could be no longer than 10 minutes and have no more than 5 actors. We will perform 10 texts, which span monologue and small company, drama and comedy, and contemporary and period. There truly will be something for everyone.
