Union Shorts

After four successful Union Shorts, where 32 short plays have been performed at the Union Theatre since February this year, we've chosen the 8 best to showcase at Greenwich Theatre.

Ranging from drama to comedy to dystopia, the plays tell deeply impacting, affecting and exhilarating stories in the span of 10-20 minutes, capturing whole worlds with captivating performances, artful direction and some of the most exciting new writing London has to offer.

The plays themselves are pieces submitted from writers from the UK and beyond, including the USA and Canada. Join us for an eclectic mix of excellent theatre.
