Short Attention Span Theatre


Gilded Balloon Presents

WEDNESDAY 3RD DECEMBER, 19:30

Six compelling short plays served up in one evening of theatrical variety. Journey from the gallows where two condemned men wait for malfunctioning execution equipment, to a funeral where a famous brother reconnects with his struggling sibling. Fall in love during a heated pub quiz night, then break down with feuding musicians at a cursed motorway service station. Discover a secret Victorian comedy club for women, before climbing a moonlit hill with two fathers contemplating vigilante justice.

From dark comedy to family drama, romance to psychological thriller, each play packs a complete emotional punch in concentrated form. These aren't sketches or extracts—they're fully realised theatrical experiences that prove sometimes the most powerful stories are told in the shortest time.

Perfect for modern audiences seeking quality drama without the three-hour commitment. Six different worlds, six complete stories, one remarkable night of theatre that will leave you thinking long after the final curtain.
