The Overnight Plays

Various authors

Just 24 hours to write and rehearse...

What will 32 actors make of seven plays written for them just hours before they receive the scripts? Will there be loads of laughs in one of the show's seven 12-minute plays? Or perhaps a heart-breaking tragedy will unfold?

In the season's most unpredictable event the Questors Overnight Plays go where other theatres fear to tread, putting cast and crew to the ultimate test of creativity and teamwork. The result is one unmissable evening of brand new short plays.
