The Script’s The Thing is back!

Now for its third Festival, we have two days and over 100 writers involved for a feast of fantastic performance. Like a “mini-Edinburgh Festival” happening right here in Dorset, you get to choose what you want to see! The Festival also has Q+As and talks from directors, producers, actors, and all those involved with making new work. You don’t have to be a writer to attend and it’s all FREE!

So whether you’re an experienced professional, first-time writer, or simply have a curiosity about scripts for stage, TV, film, podcasting and all writing for performance, the Festival is the place to be inspired and celebrate new writing.

The Festival programme for The Script’s The Thing 3 is now available as a download right here! By popular demand, we have provided this in three ways: the full programme in brochure form as a PDF (a printed version will be available on the day), an Excel spreadsheet over two sheets with the timetable for both days, and a PDF version of the same spreadsheet.
