A pioneering East 15 event, presenting some bold, daring theatre emerging from the Contemporary Theatre award-winning creative hub.

A festival of devised work created and performed by the final year BA Acting & Contemporary Theatre students. Past works coming out of this festival have received tremendous accolades in the industry and the press, as well as major awards including the ‘Edinburgh Comedy Award’, ‘Soho Best Young Playwright’, ‘Les Enfants Terribles Award’, ‘Best New Musical’, ‘Scotsman Fringe First’, and ‘The Stage Award for Acting Excellence'.


Between the Sheets

Between the Sheets is a new 2-hander musical-drama that follows childhood sweethearts Connor and Emily on the evening of their 10-year anniversary. They’re set up for a sentimental journey down memory lane, however unresolved issues remain – barely concealed – beneath the veneer of domestic bliss.

Can we recover our losses?           


Vases of A Woman

In the garden of Eden, Freddie’s existence of Her remains. One pottery delivery and twelve following hours, the pair tussle through their inescapable paths begging to find utopia, but the end game has already been played.

“I always thought it’d bounce despite being porcelain. Why wouldn’t it change?”
