VIBRANT FESTIVAL 2014

Vibrant 2014 – A Festival of Finborough Playwrights, was the Finborough Theatre’s annual explosion of new writing and part of its 20 Premieres season, running between 2–20 November 2014. This year’s festival featured 15 staged readings of new works by 15 UK and international playwrights, discovered, developed or championed by the Finborough Theatre.

The festival offered an eclectic idiosyncratic selection of new plays from both established writers and first time writers, aged from their 20s to their 70s, including dramatists from Australia, the United States, Canada, and from throughout England including Cornwall, the North East, the East Midlands and Earl’s Court itself. This festival also included more female playwrights than ever before, work from South Asian, East Asian, British-Lebanese and Australian Aboriginal playwrights, work from our local community, and new plays from our Channel 4 Playwright-in-Residence and all three of our Playwrights-on-Attachment.
