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.
A giggle at a funeral. Gen Z absurdity meets ancient tragedy as Pan predicts the end of everything. A twisted, tragicomic, multimedia reboot of the Greek God's death.
Ambitious journalist, Cara, discovers that her Harry styles teenage fan-fiction has gone viral and she now must write an article about it! Nostalgic and empowering, Harry Styles wants you to come.
When her husband is tasked with staging satanic ritual sites, Linda becomes convinced that she’s living with the devil. Satanic Panic explores the impact of psychological warfare on ordinary people.
As society collapses, faith curdles and the earth becomes barren; a faded show queen grapples with their place in the end and prepares for their final curtain call.
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.
