SPLIT Experimental Writing Lab

Capgras Theatre Company hosted its debut, experimental writing lab at The Omnibus Theatre in Clapham, London on November 22nd, 2025.

After a successful callout for writers, directors, and actors, we received a total of almost 200 submissions. We chose a limited selection of artists that we felt encapsulated the non-traditional, experimental spirit we were promoting. We presented the following pieces:
