PLAYWRIGHT’S PLAY NIGHT No.6
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.

JACKPOT by Kate McCloud
‘There’s a shout for ‘Emma’ or ‘Sophie’ or ‘Becky’... I’m not any of those, but I could be.’
Charlotte has won the lottery of life – an incredibly boring office job, a cat that doesn’t like her, and a life of inherited privilege.. On a sweltering day on London’s Southbank she’s going about her own business, stealing a drink from Starbucks, when a single punch jolts her from her mundane, comfortable life into a world of fixation, desire and blood lust. Jackpot.
7.45pm
LOVESTORY by Paul G Raymond
You’re not a fancy pants person, you know, you’re nice and normal. No airs and graces. They like that. I like that.
Pete and Liz go on a hinge date and sparks fly fuelled by hormones and good Guinness. They fall for each other. They don’t fall for each other’s parents.

Her latest play Jackpot was shortlisted for the 2025 Alpine Fellowship Theatre Prize.
