Hotbed New Writing Theatre Festival has been running for over 20 years and is at the heart of Menagerie’s programming. Each year, we take over Cambridge Junction, bringing in both new and established talent to share their work in a variety of forms.

Hotbed is and always has been a vibrant and innovative theatre festival with one crucial aim: to celebrate the energy and excitement that comes from producing, commissioning, and witnessing new plays.

Take a look back at all of the Hotbed Festivals that have been and gone as we wait and see what comes next!
