Start Nights offer a chance to see the talent of the future flexing its creative muscles at Hampstead theatre.

Start Nights are an opportunity for emerging and established writers to test a new, incomplete script on an audience and use the response they get to improve the play. Each event is compered by a dynamic writer, actor or director, who ensures this is a fun and exciting evening and an exclusive opportunity to be there at the beginning and help the plays of tomorrow.

The Start Night audience is asked to give written feedback on each extract, which is then collated and given to the writers.
