Reboot Festival 5
23 Sept - 11 October 7:30pm
Three weeks.
18 plays.
Endless Possibilities.
London's biggest short play festival is coming back and in a new home!
Reboot Festival debuted in 2021 at Barons Court Theatre as a lifeline to graduating and emerging writers, directors, and actors affected by the Covid pandemic. It quickly became obvious that the event fulfills a deeper need on the London scene as opportunities for theatre makers to showcase their work are disappearing.
​
So, we decided to make Reboot a yearly event as we continue our commitment to providing pathways for artists to make their way in what can often feel like an impenetrable industry. ​
​
And it's our 5th year and moving to a new venue!
