Stellar Quines’ prime aim is to encourage the development of new writing through our commissions and to facilitate a higher profile for writers. With the Rehearsal Room, a well-established initiative held twice a year, we enable writers to be more proactive in the development of their text using audience feedback as a major element of this process. The Rehearsal Room provides a platform where new plays are showcased and where we develop our audiences, keeping them informed and involved in our future productions. It is also a showcase for potential co-producers and promoters.



REHEARSAL ROOM 16

"Sometimes the most magical moments happen in the rehearsal room."
Participant, FST Open Space event, 2009

From a hairdressing salon in Edinburgh's Royal Mile to Scotland's only women's prison, Stellar Quines brings you three different evenings of three new plays. Get involved in vigorous debate with the writers, director and actors as they present their works in progress. Find out how they have reached this point. Listen to their conversations as they take on your ideas to help build the productions of the future.
