Riverscribes Scratch Night

Riverscribes Scratch Night is more than just a performance opportunity, it's a vibrant and welcoming space for writers to connect, share, and grow. Each session fosters a lively atmosphere where participants can explore and develop their work, and gain insights from both peers and audience members. Whether you're looking to present a new idea or experience creative emerging theatre, Scratch Night offers a regular and accessible platform to nurture your creative journey.

Riverscribes: Scratch Night offers writers an invaluable opportunity to test and showcase segments of their scripts before a live audience. 

This monthly event features 4-5 ten-minute extracts from a range of works, allowing writers to present any part of their story—whether it's the opening scene, a pivotal moment, or a climactic ending. 

Hosted and curated by Riverscribes Playwriting Facilitator Nadine Gray, the event provides a supportive environment for script-in-hand performances in the intimate setting of the River Room. It’s an ideal platform for receiving constructive feedback and engaging with the community.
