09 May 26
After a great anonymous table read on Monday 4 May, our panel considered the scoring provided by the assembled readers and audience and we’re proud to announce our lineup of plays and their writers for the Summer Shorts 2026.
After considering an amazing 57 submitted texts for the 10 spots in the programme which is coming up in August 2026, we’ve finally arrived at another exciting final billing, spanning monologue & small company, drama & comedy, all written to this year’s theme of Window, by a mixture of SLT Members and submitters from beyond the Fire Station.
The plays you will see in August in order of performance are:
- Expect Drama by Dermot Murphy
- Sonder by Julia Blyth
- Nice View From Here by Randy Brown
- Three to Five Minutes by Natalie Gregorian
- The First Window by Anenwojo Omagu
Interval
- Slow Glass by Steven Sobolewski
- Windowed by Charles Kingsmill
- She Wanted Lace Curtains by Nathan Gaël York
- Window Play by Darren Ely
- Oh The Poor Little Dears by Anna Rubincam
We’ll shortly be auditioning so do register for what promises to be a great lineup.
