Each writer will create an original piece, and each director will work alongside their assigned writer to bring the script to life. These collaborations will culminate in a scratch night giving you the chance to experience new writing from the local area. After the performances, we will select one play as the winner, providing the chosen piece with further support for its development. Don't miss out on this celebration of new writing and talent!
