18 pieces featured in London’s biggest short plays festival

The Barons Court Theatre

September 2, 2024

The Reboot Festival is taking place at Barons Court Theatre between 3 - 21 September.

It is the biggest short plays festival in London, showcasing 18 short plays over the course of three weeks, with six plays shown each evening.

This year, there will be the chance to sample writing from the US, Australia, Nigeria, and all over the UK.

Reboot Festival started life in October 2021, when Kibo Productions were looking for ways to help revive the theatre industry following the Covid-19 pandemic. It aims to be a platform for emerging writers to see their work performed at no financial cost and to be a gateway for international writers into the London scene. It also gives work to actors who may have been out of work for some time and helps iincubate new plays and create connections between creatives.
