Book Tickets
Performance dates: Tuesday 29 March, Thursday 31 March and Saturday 2 April.
7.30pm doors & bar open, 8pm start.
VISIONARY… 12 writers. 10 plays. 3 nights. It’s gonna be WILD. We’re talking secret societies, magical realism, alternate metaverses, camping trips – you name it, these writers have visioned it.
And not only that, but we’re also going to be performing at the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft – a fabulous and versatile venue with ENDLESS staging possibilities.
Talking of staging, we have one night ‘In the Round’, one night ‘In Traverse’ and another night also in traverse but… wait for it… with projections! Ooooohhhh. (The second night will also be staged as a relaxed performance – more info on that below).

Tickets are sold individually for each night, so if you’re coming to watch a specific play/person, make sure you get the ticket for that specific night.
Doors will open at 7.30 with performance due to start at 8. The PRSC will have a bar open before the performance starts so it’s worth getting here earlier if you want to get drinks!
More notes on the relaxed performance: This just means that the houselights will remain on, stage lighting changes slightly less harsh, and no expectations for the audience to sit still throughout the performance. The quality or content of the pieces will not be affected AT ALL by this – it will just be a more relaxed environment for our audience members!
The venue is wheelchair accessible, however, unfortunately the toilets are not.
