The rehearsed readings of nine original plays by local up-and-coming writers have been developed through Beach Hut Theatre Company’s fortnightly Script Hut writing workshops under Alison Watt.

Inspired by the love of books and how they influence our lives, each play will be performed as script-in-hand readings. The plays can be seen for free in Scarborough Library’s main lending area from 11am and will be directed by emerging local theatre directors. Each play will be performed only once.
