Welcome to The Octagon Theatre's very first, First Bites Festival!
The Octagon are debuting their first festival of home grown new work, new plays, work in progress, scratch nights and stories.
This Festival is a chance to have an exciting "first bite" of something new and for you to provide helpful feedback to the artists which will be vital towards the development of their work.
See the Octagon's full First Bites Festival page for booking and more information!
As part of the festival, we will be hosting and platforming an evening of new writing and works-in-development on Thursday 21st September. The pieces will be performed by Switch_MCR and will feature new work from some of our favourite new writers as well as a selection of work which we are seeking development and homes for!
The full line-up of writing will be announced very soon...
Tickets are £6.00 and available on the Octagon Theatre's First Bites Page.
