Industry Reviews

'...an extraordinary engine of new writing and new talent. For established writers it's a chance to experiment ... new writers it's a chance to be heard. The restrictions of the form are simple - small cast, 45 mins, limited set; but, within those restrictions, a whole world is possible. A Play, A Pie and A Pint is one of those simple ideas that changes everything.' David Greig
