Brighton 24 Hour Play Festival

After a sold-out debut last year, Savage Heart’s Brighton 24-Hour Play Festival returns - and the clock is ticking!

5 writers, 5 directors, and a host of Brighton’s most talented actors have just 24 hours to write, rehearse, and perform five brand-new mini plays live on the iconic Theatre Royal Brighton stage.

At 7pm the night before, teams draw their cast, themes, and props - then writers burn the midnight oil, handing over scripts at dawn. The race is on with a full day of rehearsals, culminating in a 7pm performance that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

And the best part? The audience gets to sit right on stage with the actors, experiencing every nail-biting moment up close. What could possibly go wrong?

Entrance is through Stage Door on Bond Street; doors open 10 minutes before show time. There will be a pop-up bar at this event.
