Petite Plays

June 11 @ 7:00 pm - June 12 @ 9:30 pm

$15 – $20

🎭 Petite Plays

11th & 12th June 2026

Funny. Whimsical. Farcical. Anarchic.

Get ready for a wild, theatrical ride.

Petite Plays are small but perfectly formed, some only a few minutes long, bringing together a vibrant collection of short works written by local playwrights. Expect an evening of infinite variety, where no two pieces are the same.

From a cheeky Chaucerian rewrite, “The Miller’s Tale”, to the sci-fi horror “Fingers and Thumbs”, these bite-sized plays cover the full gamut of theatre. Fast-paced, surprising, and full of character, there’s something here for everyone.
