Windsor Fringe starts on September 23 with a three-week programme of eclectic events – marking its 50-year anniversary.
The Fringe will include a mix of music, dance, drama, cabaret supper club, pop up art and even a secret event.
One key event will be the 19th Kenneth Branagh Award for New Drama Writing 2022. Amateur playwrights worldwide were invited to submit a 30-minute one-act play.
This year, Windsor Fringe received 190 scripts from 23 countries.
Three winning scripts were selected by the judges and will be transformed into fully staged plays, performed at The Old Court Windsor, over three evenings: October 7, 8 and 9.
The finalists are Black Forest by Valerie O’Connor; Person of Interest by Mike Pearcy; and The Exhibit by Euan Mumford.
One of the three scripts will be chosen as the overall winner and awarded the £500 prize at the awards ceremony on Saturday, October 8.
Other events include:
