StoneCrabs Theatre are delighted to announce the Young Director’s Festival: Playdoh which will take place from 14th – 18th September 2021 at Southwark Playhouse.
In March 2020, just a month before the festival was scheduled, StoneCrabs were forced to move online and postpone indefinitely. Since that time the directors have completed extensive online training, fundraised, workshopped their shows with emergency Arts Council Funding and started planning for the return of the festival.
Join them for five days of storytelling and celebration. Each night will carry a different theme, showcasing directors’ short plays and time for an informal Q&A in the bar afterward.

On nights where there are two plays showing, you just need one ticket – just make sure you book for the relevant date!
Plus, when you book all five nights you get 30% off with our Festival Pass – just add the tickets to your basket and the discount will apply automatically.
