New Writing

Since Strange Town started in Edinburgh in 2008, we’ve produced 70 new scripts. All our new works have been written by emerging writers for our young performers, with different scripts suitable for different age groups. We’ve outlined below a selection of the plays we’ve produced, including for each a synopsis, script extract, cast size, age suitability, and a brief writer biog. If you’re looking for appropriate scripts for children and young people to perform and would like to work with one of ours, please contact info@strangetown.org.uk for more details.

This is the latest production to come from our partnership with Active Inquiry and this year also working with @allornothingadt , it was inspired by the current Save Leith Walk campaign. Omawick. A small town on the edge of a big town. A place with a rich history and a strong community spirit. But recently times have been hard and change is needed. The Fair is coming. Change is coming. But is it the change that the community wants? Who speaks for Omawick and what will be left behind once the Fair has moved on? #makeyourfringe
