Staged readings, full productions, engaging workshops, led by talented Irish artists and an expanded series of events for children, there's lots to enjoy for the 10th Scripts Festival.
Every year, we invite 3 playwrights to come to Birr for a week of mentorship with Eugene O'Brien and a rehearsed reading of their work by professional actors.
Scripts is dedicated to showcasing the finest new plays and fostering fresh voices in Irish theatre. After taking a break last year, our festival returns from 11-14 July 2024
