The Brighton Scratch Night - Curated by Pip O'Neill and Luke Ofield

The Brighton Scratch Night was curated in 2017 by Pip O'Neill and Luke Ofield of Unmasked Theatre. After struggling with redrafts and finding helpful advice ourselves,we decided to create a place where writers can send their scripts to see life beyond the four walls of a bedroom at 3am. Over the past three years, we have seen Writers go on to have shows performed at Edinburgh Fringe, Camden Fringe, The Park, The Vaults and have R&D at the Wyndhams and the Noel Coward Theatre. Unmasked Theatre have produced Three full length productions as part of the Brighton Fringe. 2017 - Living with George by Jayne Woodhouse - "Beautiful, nostalgic, heart wrenching" 2018 - Cooked by Natalie Audley - "Unmasked Theatre have nailed it...Audley’s sharp writing is championed by commitment to character and strong, believable performance" 2019 - Further Education by Pete Barrett. - "Unmasked Theatre won Best of Fringe IYAF – for good reason. It’s a strong, committed production of a very fine comedy." The night continues to grow with scripts submitted from all over the world -and offers opportunities for writers, directors and actors at every stage of their career.
