THEATRE IN THE POUND

21 September, 7:00 pm

A not-for-profit scratch night, designed for individuals or groups of performers to try out 10-15 minutes of new work at The Cockpit.

Our legendary scratch nights are an accessible, affordable way for artists to try out new work on stage with full support from our backstage and tech crew.

For audiences, they're a cheap and fun night out, with the chance to see new work and share your thoughts directly with the performers!

Tickets: £1
These can only be purchased from the bar on the night. Cash or a card is fine.

We cannout guarantee that the show will be suitable for children, so best to assume that it won't be.

Dandy Fever or the Finger by Cees Walburgh Schmidt
Who does he think he is, a king or a fool, where does he get the nerve to talk to us this way?
WRITER & PERFORMER: Cees Walburgh Schmidt

White Light by Michael van der Put
A kid has a shit day at school, sees a Lamborghini outside his house and thinks, “Why can’t I have that?” White Light is the story of a young white man who is radicalised online. It’s about someone who has genuinely been left behind, who has reasons to be angry;  just not the reasons he thinks. It’s about the seductive logic of the far-right, and its consequences offline.
WRITER: Tom Powell | DIRECTOR: Laurence Chater | PRODUCER: Michael van der Put on behalf of Broken Hearted Youth

Peahen Society by Monica Denise Garcia
1870 London. The law has just permitted women to open businesses in their own name. Two formerly close friends Winnie and Sudeepta, successful businesswomen in the tea trade, meet again after years apart. Has time been kind to these two, or has it revealed hidden resentments they once kept firmly hidden?
WRITER, PERFORMER & PERFORMER: Monica Garcia | PRODUCER & PERFORMER: Tani Gill 'Sudeepta.'
