    SPRINT Festival

    Image: Florian Lim

    It's the million-and-one-th (we’ve lost count) edition of London’s best established carnival of new and unusual theatre, SPRINT Festival.

    From 3 - 27th March, we've assembled the most scintillating new artists making performance today – artists with bold ideas, artists who won’t play by the rules, and artists in many instances making their first professional work. With SPRINT, you never quite know what you're going to get but you can be damn certain you'll have a good night out.

    "CPT is as a beacon of fringe goodness, a theatre that champions diversity, inclusivity and the best kind of weird uniqueness" - LondonTheatre1
