Six new plays. Twenty-four hours. One unforgettable Culture Night.

Can you write a play in 24 hours?

For Culture Night, The Glens Arts Centre presents Play in a Day!, where six emerging writers create original short plays in just 24 hours.

A collaboration between The Glens Arts Centre and Rabbit’s Riot Theatre Company, this is a celebration of creativity, imagination and the thrill of brand-new theatre.

Guided by acclaimed Leitrim playwright Treasa Nealon, participants begin with a scriptwriting workshop before completing their plays overnight.

The following day, professional actors will rehearse each script before presenting them to a live audience in a series of rehearsed readings.

Treasa Nealon’s work has been recognised nationally and internationally. Her short play The Back of the Bus was selected for Fishamble’s The Navigator Project and will be published by Bloomsbury.

Her full-length Boom Boom Bang was selected for Druid Debuts, with recent productions including The World is Falling in Around Us (London’s Union Theatre) and Homesick (Dublin Fringe Festival). Whether you’re a theatre lover, aspiring writer or simply curious, come experience six brand-new stories created in just one day.
