About 24:7 Theatre Festival
24:7 THEATRE FESTIVAL. THE HEART OF NEW THEATRE
This July we celebrate our tenth anniversary by doing what we do best – launching emerging acting, writing, directing and producing talent to the public.
This year’s Festival features 10 pieces by 11 emerging writers, covering a fascinating range of styles and subjects.
24:7 is a unique theatre festival that continually brings innovative drama to the people of Manchester.
In 2004, the first Festival took place in bars and clubs around Manchester city centre. With no finance but limitless determination, we managed to attract 1,600 audience members in one week. Since then, tens of thousands have taken their seats for an hour of great entertainment.
From 18 – 25 July we’ll be celebrating 10 years of Festival theatre-making. Come and see world première productions, rehearsed readings, scripts in development and a host of extra events featuring emerging artists from the region.
