Theatre In The Pound

THEATRE IN THE POUND

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

Our legendary Scratch Nights are back LIVE in the Theatre from October - An accessible, affordable way to try out your work on stage with full support from our backstage and tech crew.

However, we plan to keep one show a year as a digital version, as we've loved welcoming performers from all over the country and around the globe to our online shows. We've also enjoyed seeing the participants of our devising theatre online course pushing the boundaries of Zoom Theatre, and we want to see if there's further to go!

Tickets £1 

Online Shows are £10 for participants, live in the Theatre shows are only £15 per performance. Thats £1 per minute! Cheapest theatre hire in town!

Both online and live options include full technical and backstage support. Fees go a small way towards supporting our staff, but we are also heavily subsidised.

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.
