Welcome to the New Normal / New Writing Online 24-Hour Playwrighting Festival Just Giving Page to support the contributing artists to the festival under this new normal of digital theatre.

Thank you very much for your support. If you’re visiting this page before the show takes place on 6 February- we are really grateful for your interest and for checking us out.

If you’ve ended up here after the show has been on, then we’re really grateful that you’re considering helping us reach our £500 target so we can pay the participants a small amount during these times when there’s so little opportunity to create and perform because of Covid.

The festivals’ format of brainstorming, creating and performing new work within a 24-hour period is an exciting, immediate and creative way to respond to issues of the day and that are on the minds of the performers. Using Zoom and YouTube Live has allowed us to find a way to connect with the audiences we’re missing so much, to make you laugh and make you thinkThis latest festival on Saturday 6 February at 6pm GMT is our latest show, so tell your friends to come along!
