Britain's What's On Event Guide
14/48 London
In short, 14 plays that are written, cast, directed, rehearsed, scored, designed, and premiered in 48 hours. Since 1997, 14/48 has been bringing radically collaborative theatre to cities around the world. Originating in Seattle, it has grown to feature festivals in Texas, Hollywood, Leicester, Vashon Island, and Wolverhampton. The festival has remained fiercely mobile, community-driven, and joyfully chaotic. In April 2026, 14/48 comes to London for the first time at The Cockpit. Over one weekend, artists from around the city, country, and world will be invited to come and create fourteen brand-new ten-minute plays from scratch in just forty-eight hours. No scripts in advance. No rehearsals beforehand. Not even pairings. Just trust, risk, caffeine, and collaboration.
