ChewFest is the latest creation from the weird, whacky and wonderful minds of the multi-award winning ChewBoy Productions.
Following cancellation after cancellation of festivals for early-career creatives to showcase their work, the ChewBoy team wanted to curate a week-long event of celebrations, experiments and brand-new, never-before-seen work.
The festival aims to provide a free platform for early-career companies and creatives who’re looking to either have their first credit on a London stage or are looking to be bold with their work in abstract ways.
Over the course of the week, ChewBoy will provide support to over 12 companies and individuals in bringing short and snappy pieces to a London venue.
The week-long celebration will include:
5 new short plays from 5 new playwrights, performed by 5 recently graduated actors, culminating in the 555 performance of rehearsed readings.
3 half-hour extracts of exciting experimental work from new companies.
Revivals of the award-winning TETHERED (ChewBoy).
Exciting collaborations with Gutter Street Theatre, Visability Film Festival and Yellow Hat Productions to forge brand new integrated, multi-disciplinary performances.
Free online workshops to support creatives in forming companies and producing projects.
A very special finale event, of which more details will be announced soon.
ChewFest is at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre 23rd to 28th May 2022. Full details can be found here.
