Hatch & Scratch is a regular scratch night event that showcases new writing and works in progress, aiming to provide consistent performance opportunities for writers, as well as helping them build and expand their creative networks.
Scripts should be no longer than fifteen minutes in length. Submissions may be complete at fifteen minutes or an extract from a longer piece. If you wish to submit an extract, please separate out the portion that you would like staged, do not send the full-length script.
There are no thematic or content restrictions, though writers are encouraged to consider the staging limitations of a scratch night and keep their cast sizes reasonable and their technical expectations minimal.
As the work will be staged as part of Peckham Fringe, Pathway are particularly interested in hearing from writers who are residents of, or have a strong connection to Peckham or South London. Please include any details of your location or connection to the area in your email.
Submission deadline is Sunday 11th May 2025 by 5pm.
Send your scripts and any contextual information you would like to share to fringesubs@pathwaytheatre.
