The Patchwork New Play Festival is a celebration of new one-act plays, this year all based around the theme of resilience. Nine plays will be presented, six plays per night, in a round-robin format. The aim of the Patchwork Festival is to highlight the wide range of stories and voices in the theatrical community, allowing audiences to experience never-before-seen work in what will be a joyful return to live performance.
