Script Happens: A Showcase of New Work

Script Happens offers a ground-breaking theatre showcase of new work from Middlesex University's class of 2026!
This years line-up features four brand new scripted pieces that explore power of songwriting, hilarity of London transport, the cost of stardom, and perpetual notes from your director.
This festival of work is a celebration tour that travels from Ravensfield Theatre at Middlesex Univeristy to the Creativity Pavillion at Alexandra Palace (Ally Pally) and Network Theatre in Waterloo.
Network Theatre
Find Us: Network Theatre is rumoured to be difficult to find, so check out the map and directions below before your first visit.
Our street address is 246A Lower Road, Waterloo, London SE1 8SF. Were not on maps, but you can find Lower Road under Waterloo Station, leading off Waterloo Road, opposite Sainsburys.
Lower Road is a service road under Waterloo Station so you will need to ask for Network Theatre at the security gate (bring your e-ticket confirmation for access) and pass the loading bays before you find us on the left. Download our illustrated directions for more information.

The Star
The Star follows Donna, an ambitious young performer whose relationships begin to fracture as a manipulative director pits dancers against one another and the pressure to succeed intensifies. When opportunity arrives unexpectedly, the show poses a chilling question: what would you give to be unforgettable?
