Theatre in the Pound

Scratch theatre at its barest and boldest.

At The Cockpit, scratch is taken literally: theatre-makers rent the space for a pound a minute and fling 10–15 minute ideas into the dark, then listen as the room answers back. Theatre in the Pound is low-cost, not-for-profit and gloriously rough-feathered, a night where wild hunches and half-built scenes are carried on a breath of song. If you like the feeling of catching a show mid-moult, before it grows its final plumage, this is your roost, petal.
