The 24-Hour Play Festival was a project to devise, write, rehearse and perform several 10 minute plays in 24-hours. Starting on the evening of Friday 1 September four teams of actors were allocated to a director and writers. Each team discussed ideas for a 10-minute play prompted by a randomly drawn prop and the writer went away and wrote the play overnight. The teams reconvened on the morning of Saturday 2 September to rehearse. All the plays were then performed on Saturday evening.
The resulting plays were: -
