PLAYWRIGHT’S PLAY NIGHT No.12
Once a month we are inviting audiences to a double bill of brand new work at different levels of readiness. Scripts will be in hand. Some plays might be 20 minutes of an idea, others will be full length. It’s not polished but it is all the fun. We are inviting audiences to take a look and support some of the incredible new voices out there. There’s nothing better than live feedback, and this is giving exactly that.
We are absolutely thrilled to be partnering with Synergy Theatre to bring you two brilliant voices. It’s going to be an incredible night.
About Synergy Theatre Project: Synergy Theatre Project inspires change through groundbreaking work across theatre and the criminal justice system. Through new writing we are able to give a platform to the voices of people with lived experience of the criminal justice system and broadcast those voices into contemporary British theatre.

About Synergy Theatre Project: Founded over 20 years ago, Synergy creates ground-breaking work across theatre and the criminal justice system. We believe that theatre can be transformative, change perceptions, and open up new possibilities towards a more positive future. We live in a world where some of the most disadvantaged are over-represented in the criminal justice system and our vision is to work through theatre towards a fairer world where those within or at risk of entering the criminal justice system can discover alternate pathways and become an integral and meaningful part of society. Our programme of artistic work harnesses the energy and life experiences of those we work with – prisoners, ex-prisoners, young offenders, and young people at risk of offending – gives them a voice and, in doing so, their dignity back. We want to inspire change by capturing the imagination and affecting the feelings, behaviours and attitudes of participants and public, whilst doing our part to influence the arts and criminal justice sectors towards systemic change.
