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!
