Five writers have ten minutes each to impress you.
They’ll present the opening section of their next big thing. You’ll cast a vote for your favourite.
They’ll need to entertain your socks off, finish with a bang and leave the drum line of EastEnders ringing in your ears. Because only TWO of them will make it through to the following night.
Until the grand finale on Saturday 27 January: where those who made it the furthest will go head to head.
The WINNER will have their full play performed on the Arcola stage on Saturday 10 February.
Expect buzzers. Expect raucousness. And expect a corking show… not for the faint hearted.

Tuesday 23rd: Round 1
Jackal by Rebecca Robinson
Black Star by Max Saunders-Singers
