Bristol Theatre Company Hosts New Writing
The event is a chance to see brand new work here in Bristol
Locally-based Uncaged Theatre, is bringing a line-up of brand new work to South West theatres this Spring.
The company is running a Scratch event which features the work of four early-career and regionally -based playwrights.
The event has already proven a success after a two-date run in Bath this month.
Audiences can still catch the event in Weston Super Mare, Chippenham, Trowbridge and Bristol.
Two graduates of Bath Spa University, Siri Bolin and Ross Corbet, have joined Uncaged Theatre as Assistant Directors on the project. Both have been creating and producing their own work locally.
They join Director Phoebe Mulcahy and actors Harry Freeman, Nicky Cooper, Lee Beldam, Noelle Grierson, Jordan Lee and Meg Pickup.
The four new pieces of work form a collection of four comedies which ‘crack open’ the structures that shape us.
The playwrights are Jamillah Knowles, Geraint Hughes, Patrick Large and Joe Brooks.
The work being staged:
The Authors’ by Jamillah Knowles
As Benja struggles to seduce a muse through alcohol and isolation, their flatmates Dex and Rikki have different ideas about how they craft the narratives of their lives. Is art really pain? Does anyone care if the scripts on a foot fetishist’s subscription site are generated using AI?
End of the World’ by Geraint Hughes
A hilarious and thought-provoking Kubrick / Stoppard / Tarantino mash-up on our relationship with Artificial Intelligence. Are we all complicit in letting AI shape our cultural, political, and environmental landscape? Will we continue to let it displace human creativity and original thought, or does the fight back start here? It’s a rollercoaster ride!
The Bus Stop’ by Patrick Large
It is mid-morning at a bus stop, and two young men in their twenties from very different backgrounds find themselves sitting next to each other: one with a trust fund haircut, and one with a love for winding up the poshos. Will they connect? Will they debate? No chance.
God Is Dead’ by Joe Brooks
God is dead, washed up on the beach at Weston-super-Mare. It soon becomes clear that this is murder: murder most metaphysical. Detective Inspector Taylor and PC Blake are drawing up the list of suspects. They come to their prime suspect, but can they bring the fallen angel in for questioning?
Glitch: A New Scratch Night from Uncaged Theatre takes place at the Alma Tavern Theatre on 13 June 2026
