Test Before You Fest at the Tristan Bates Theatre

Heading north this August? The Tristan Bates Theatre in Covent Garden is running three weeks of affordable previews to give companies a chance to find their feet before the festival.

Sketch, stand-up, drama, dance, music, magic and madcap combinations of them all will be programmed in a preview of the largest arts festival on the planet.

From Monday 6 - Saturday 25 July, the TBT offers a chance to hone new material, test audience reactions, practice your break-neck get-out and experience the Edinburgh spirit before sacrificing your soul to the Scots.

We will be programming up to two shows per night, excluding Sundays, at a charge of £190 per night (or multiples thereof). The price includes 2 hours tech time in the space on the day, full box office services, and inclusion in our 'Test Before You Fest' season brochure. Hiring companies will receive all box office receipts net of VAT (70 seats per night).

To find out more and pitch for a slot, please get in touch with Laura Kriefman or Will Young on 020 7623 8010 or email tbt@actorscentre.co.uk.

Because why should Scotland have all the fun?
