KOLDRON [pronounced cauldron] – A bubbling melting pot – A place to cook up something new – Stir it in and stir it up – Time to cast a spell An hour of fresh concoctions made locally, serving the scene. A scratch with an emphasis on the other and the uncanny. It’s a brand-new addition to the Offspring model made to connect theatre makers in Edinburgh and offer routes to production. Creatives selected via call out (Kol out) available through Offspring’s social media. Full line-up revealed at the end of October. ABOUT OFFSPRING Launching Spring 2026, Offspring Festival was the first of two annual festivals curated by writer and director Kolbrún Björt Sigfúsdóttir aka Kol. We now invite you to join us for the autumn festival, Offspring – Their Dark Materials, happening over two days in November with three full script readings, one scratch event and two networking events. Offspring Festival features three new plays that we think deserve love and a platform as well as extracts from folk that Offspring have not featured before. The goal with the festival is to make it easier for these pieces, and those to come, to find their audience and potential partners. The Kolective is about making connections. We hope you join us! Followed by free event Kolect – a speed-dating game for migrant theatre makers and those who want to work with them starting 19.45.
