ChewBoy Productions has launched ChewFest, a brand-new multi-arts festival for early-career creatives to experiment for free. The inaugural event runs for one week at London’s Lion and Unicorn Theatre from 23 to 28 May 2022. Mark your diaries!
ChewFest is the latest creation from the weird, wacky and wonderful minds of the multi-award-winning ChewBoy Productions.
Following cancellation after cancellation of festivals for early-career creatives to showcase their work, the ChewBoy team wanted to curate a week-long event of celebrations, experiments and brand-new, never-before-seen work.
The festival aims to provide a free platform for early-career companies and creatives who are looking to either have their first credit on a London stage or are looking to be bold with their work in abstract ways.
Over the course of the week, ChewBoy will provide support to over 12 companies and individuals in bringing short and snappy pieces to a London venue.
