Script Accelerator is back for it's sixth year of supporting emerging practitioners. Join us for a window into the process of bringing a new play to life.

 

In this showcase, the culmination of four weeks of R&D, we are proud to present extracts from six new plays from a truly exceptional selection of emerging creatives.

The six extracts will be presented across two performances. Be part of the conversation, take advantage of our double bill ticket in order to get a flavor of all six plays.

A number of shows from previous years of Script Accelerator have gone on to perform our Park90 stage, including:
