1 Act Play Festival
Presented by Sleaford Little Theatre
Step into an evening of sharp wit, creeping unease and forbidden magic as Sleaford Little Theatre presents a trio of contrasting one-act plays. From madcap, time-twisting comedy to unsettling midnight encounters, and darkly playful fantasy, this triple bill promises variety, imagination and plenty of surprises. It’s a celebration of local creativity, showcasing three original stories brought to life by the rich creative talent of Sleaford Little Theatre.
Each play is expected to last around 40 minutes. There will be a 10 minute break after the first play and a 20 minute interval after the second, when the bar will be open. The evening is expected to finish at around 10pm.
