The International Playwriting Festival will be held at the Warehouse Theatre, Dingwall Road, Croydon, this weekend.
This year celebrates 16 years of successfully discovering and promoting the work of new playwrights.
From a record number of entries, the selected plays for the IPF have been chosen and three plays selected: The Cobbler by Bryan Delaney, Six Black Candles by Des Dillon, Glory Days by Amelia Morrey, plus the director's choice Knock Down Ginger by Mark Norfolk.
Throughout the weekend, November 24 and 25, you can also enjoy plays that have been presented in Italy at Premio Candoni Arta Terme and from Theatre Ena, Cyprus.
A Wandering Soul by Robert Cavosi will be presented in Italian with English surtitles, and Brother, My Brother by Yiannis Agislaou which will be presented in dual language.
Coulsdon resident Amelia Morrey's Glory Days centres on three people waiting in a hospital to hear about a friend. A card game is arranged, but this becomes more of a mind game. Who are the winners and losers?
The writer of the director's choice Knock Down Ginger, Mark Norfolk, was born in Croydon.
The festival also includes the work of some of the best plays written in the Warehouse's resident Writers' Workshop.
To book tickets at £8; £10 for a Saturday and Sunday pass which includes interval food; £20 for a Festival Pass which includes interval food, call the box office on 020 8680 4060.
