View Festival 2026

MA Creative Practice Presents:

VIEW FESTIVAL: A GLOW FROM THE WINDOW

23 THEATRE MAKERS, 11 PLAYS, ONE MONTH

29 May – 27 June

For the first time ever, the Mountview MA Directors, Producers and Writers are brought together on one collective programme: VIEW Festival 2026. 

Step into the worlds of 11 wildly unique stories — from laugh out loud comedy to heartbreaking drama, thoughts on the future to reimaginings of the past, hard hitting social commentary to joyful displays of humanity — the VIEW FESTIVAL has a story for everyone.

 
As summer nights and clear evening skies approach, settle in for a month of invigorating new writing and events injected with the heartfelt energy of 23 early-career creatives. Laugh, cry, reflect and celebrate what it means to be alive.
 
We’ve left the window open… will you take a look?
