Theatre In The Pound

17 May - 7.00pm

A Monthly Scratch Night.

This event is part of:

THEATRE IN THE POUND

A not-for-profit night, designed for individuals or groups of performers to try out, experiment or showcase new work at The Cockpit.

Currently our Online Shows are FREE for performers wishing to participate!!!!!! From September we will make a small charge of £10 to go towards our costs.

Live in the Theatre shows are only £15 per performance!!! Thats £1 per minute!!! Cheapest theatre hire in town!!!

We have had new writing, monologues, large groups, physical theatre, dance, comedy, performance art, movement ...and it all works online! Brilliant! As always we love seeing stuff at all stages of development, including readings or improvised seeds of ideas.

We love stuff that works and also stuff that doesn't. Each piece is followed by a short feedback discussion with our lovely audience, to help companies develop their work.

Exciting News: We have had such fun hosting our online 'Theatre in the Pound at Yours', and are so thrilled that it has meant performers and creatives from all around the globe have been able to join us - so we want to keep going! Come and experiment with us and push the bounderies of Zoom!

Also, pending changes to lockdown regulations, we will be back live in the theatre this year! But we've had such a great time working online, we'll be alternating between Live Online and Live On Stage. Best of both worlds!
