Scripts Ireland’s Playwriting Festival is our annual four-day festival in Birr Co. Offaly dedicated to new Irish plays—the writing of them, the development and nurturing of them.    

Our innovative playwriting festival features a host of exciting events for lovers of theatre- those who want to create, perform and watch live in beautiful surroundings. 

​

Established in 2013, Scripts continues to create exciting opportunities for playwrights, established and aspiring, to have their work developed and produced.

Our picturesque town of Birr, a haven of Georgian elegance and chic, plays host to an ensemble of playwrights, producers, directors, all discussing, presenting and producing riveting new works for stage.
