Details
Returning for its third year following the huge success of the previous festivals, Incubate Festival 2026 is a dynamic one-day showcase of bold new theatre in development.
Each Incubate artist presents a 30-minute extract of an original work in progress. The work is raw, ambitious and ready to be tested in front of a live audience.
Incubate Festival: Part 1
Blind Man's Boat By Clinton Kirkpatrick
Blind Man is alone and in the middle of the ocean. Why are they there? How? We journey on Blind Man’s Boat, but is it memory, imagination or delusion?
Good Boy / Good Man by Isaac Quinn
Two polar opposite transgender men studying music are forced to write a song together. A new rock musical about performative males, queer desire, and what it means to be seen.
Oscar + Henri by Heather Martin
Exploring the largely untold friendship between Irish-writer Oscar Wilde and French-painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Oscar + Henri investigates the line between history and memory, and who has the right to tell it.
This event is programmed as part of the Incubate Festival presented by Tinderbox Theatre Company in association with the MAC. Find the full programme here.
