In ancient Athens, the Agora meant the marketplace, but it was so much more; it was the vibrant heart of the city, where the community gathered to ignite ideas and debate the very future of democracy. It was the birthplace of bold conversation and courageous thought.

We’re bringing that same fiery spirit to the stage. The Agora is a political scratch night – a powerful new platform for fearless new ideas. We’re channeling the ancient Greeks, using theatre as a vehicle for essential discussion, social justice, and artistic revolution.

This is an evening of four short work in progress plays, extracts, and concept pieces, each a spotlight on an urgent social issue. These are the voices of emerging creatives who have something vital to say. They are here to challenge, to provoke, and to inspire.
