KDC ScratchNight - October 2026

ScratchNight is a celebration of new writing and the KDC community: its actors, directors and, of course, the writers. Join us for an evening of script-in-hand performances of brand new works: giving writers a chance to hear their words read aloud by a talented gang of actors, under the direction of budding (and fully bloomed!) KDC directors. 

THE SHOWS: 

• "Elle", by Sam Meyers, directed by Anna Markland
• "In Knossos", by Julian Walker, directed by Jennie Rich
• "The Hunt", by Emily Browning, directed by Helen Dickens
• "Fruit Machine (//Apocy-Lips)", by Lydia Cashman, directed by Elsa Frances

Performances are followed by audience feedback and discussion, moderated by KDC's Artistic Director Stephen Reimer.
