About
ScratchNight is a celebration of new writing and the KDC community: its actors, directors and, of course, the writers. Join us for an evening of script-in-hand performances of brand new works: giving writers a chance to hear their words read aloud by a talented gang of actors, under the direction of budding KDC directors.
The plays:
- “Sorry for the Inconvenience” by Aouda Ketrouci
- “NewsRightNow Dot Com” by Robert Emlyn Slater
- “The Seal” by Iain Prest
- “The Risotto is Burning” by Sophie Underwood
Performances are followed by audience feedback and discussion, moderated by KDC’s Artistic Director Stephen Reimer.
