From Scratch is Bedford’s very own short-play Scratch Night, aiming to provide a platform for new and upcoming artists to share their work.
Playwrights, Directors & Actors will have the opportunity to showcase their talents as we stage a series of short plays in the legendary Place Theatre.
We invite you for an evening of raucous fun with a line-up of brand, spanking new short plays to keep you entertained.

Thrusting Edifice by Sue Casson – Directed by Benjamin Norman, Starring Amarachi Nkata
‘No, but that’s why I like it. Why should you be able to tell what it is? It can be whatever you want. Different things on different days, depending how you’re feeling. It’s just an impression. An expression of the artist’s thoughts and emotions, spilling out onto the canvas. A seething mass of what’s inside, clamouring to get out.’
