Little Scratch Night

Little Scratch Night is back at The Workshop, Exeter Phoenix on Wednesday 28 October, from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. It's a monthly session for local creatives to talk through their ideas and connect with other makers in a safe, nurturing space. The whole point is that it's pressure-free, with zero expectations, a bit of an optional deadline, and plenty of support on hand. If you've got something you're working on but aren't quite ready to put on a proper stage, this is where you bring it to get it moving.

The night is led by Scratch Night co-producers Will Adamsdale and Katy Danbury, with Associate Artist Eliza Fraser. Adamsdale has been co-running scratch nights at the Phoenix for four years and building work through the scratch process for over twenty. His shows have appeared at The Royal Court, Bristol Old Vic and the Brits of Broadway in New York, and have picked up a Fringe First and the Perrier award for comedy; he also co-runs the weekly new material comedy night Locally Sourced here in Exeter. Danbury is the Performance Programmer at Exeter Phoenix and was previously Artistic Director of the Old Red Lion Theatre in London, where she ran the London Horror Festival for seven years. Fraser is a Devon-based artist working in live performance as an actor, writer and stand-up comedian. Between them, they've got a huge amount of experience in taking early ideas and shaping them into finished work.

It's a free session and you don't need to book, so you can just turn up. It runs from 5.30pm to 7.30pm on Wednesday 28 October at The Workshop, Exeter Phoenix.
