Candlewasters: Flash Theatre

A collection of very short new writing from the frenzied minds of the Edinburgh University Theatre Company.

Allow us to introduce you to flash theatre: short bursts of literary merriment that must, we repeat must, come in under 5 minutes. Or else. Seriously. We know where you live. We’re not kidding here. It’s a challenge for writers - less so for attention spans.

It is a new semester, and the frenzied minds of the Edinburgh University Theatre Company spent Christmas hiding from relatives and writing their magnum opi (ooh Latin!). A fresh festival form of your favourite new writing event, Candlewasters, the time has come for entertainment, pain, criticism, hysteria, hilarity and philosophy. All in 5 minutes.

Come and join the flash mob.
