The QExtra Beautiful Hour festival is a further development in our ongoing mission to find new worlds and ways for new writing to thrive. 12 QExtra associate writers, directors, musicians and actors have been given an hour each across six nights to create a theatrical experience that is both beautiful and undeniable.

Audiences are encouraged to attend as many hours as possible and engage with this festival of visions and voices and be as involved as possible. Let the act of watching be as important as that of performance. Both are beautiful attempts at creating new sensations and sharing experience. 

This is not just a week of plays, music and poetry. It is a creative laboratory in which we all can now savour each slide.
From new plays by Julian Smith, BH Fraser, David Hovatter, Deborah Sherwell, Anayis Der Hakopien, Isabel Del Rio, and Martin Choules, to a tribute to Peter Gould and new work and music from The Pitshanger Poets and the Fleeting the range of styles and approaches each make their stand for undeniabilty; the test of all art which resists taste as we all continue to search for the beauty within.
