‘Scratch’ platformed 12 emerging playwrights across two showcases, each featuring 6 new short plays in a 60-minute performance. The event launched its first showcase at the Old Red Lion Theatre Pub in January 2023, followed by a second at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre in July 2023. Both events were curated and directed by Izzy Parriss. Many of the short plays featured were later developed into full-scale productions, including After Sex by Siofra Dromgoole, produced by Izzy Parriss Productions in collaboration with Three Sisters Productions.
