Back in summer 2007, a small band of people were bored of stuffy theatre with expensive tickets, plays that didn't speak to them and uncomfortable seats. So they decided to do something about it.

Tim Price, Claire Hill, Mared Swain and Ellie Carter gave birth to Dirty Protest. Ever since it has been drawing attention to itself, shaking up the arts world along the way. If you don't believe us The Guardian called Dirty Protest "cracking" and The Big Issue "spellbinding".

The premise has always been simple.

First - Put established AND wannabe writers on the same platform, give them a tight deadline, the same topic and challenge them to create exciting, new work.

Second - Then take it to the pubs and the clubs.

Not ones to stop evolving we have held a Welsh language night, produced three new plays for Latitute Festival, development productions of full length plays. And now we are challenging writers to curate some of our nights picking their own playwrights and theme.
