Bite Size Festival 2022

This day-long festival on Saturday 30 April at Warwick Arts Centre offered up a jam-packed taster menu of new theatre from the Midlands, including short excerpts of new work, full-length shows and exclusive previews of pieces still in development. All presented by home-grown artists working across the region – from critically acclaimed, award-winning companies to fresh faced, emerging theatre-makers.
