Early Ideas (90 mins)

As a festival first, we present four examples of works in progress and in early stages of development. Taking place at midday on Saturday on the Door Stage in The REP, we thought that these Early Ideas deserved to be represented and they’d be much appreciated by our enthusiastic BE FESTIVAL audience.

There will be a voting system whereby audience members choose their favourite show, the winner then being awarded the opportunity to perform on the Studio stage at BE FESTIVAL 2017.

Entry to these shows is £5.
