Welcome Night will take place at 63b Crossgate on 16 October 2026. This event features two new plays, 1067 and On Remand, along with performances from a poetry lineup. The evening is designed to welcome the new season and academic year.
Our First Scratch Night Of The Season!
Featuring two brand-new plays: 1067, written and directed by Rufus Brierley, and On Remand, written and directed by Kian Standbridge. 1067, a medieval comedy, stars Ben Oliver, Kian Standbridge, Sam Garratt, and Ivy Harper; while On Remand, a political two-hander, stars Sylvia Gardner and Ben Oliver.
Our poetry contingent is as strong as ever, with a lineup new and old: Sam Garratt performs their work for the first time, joined by Amelia Awan, our newest member of the company, alongside returners Mika Trench and Ben Oliver.
Doors open at 7pm, shows begin at 7.30pm. As ever, pay what you can, stay as long as you like, bring plenty of booze, and enjoy some cracking performances.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming the start of a new season and a new academic year, and we truly hope you'll be there to join us!
