Daring Pairings at Hampstead Hampstead Theatre's second new writing festival is what the theatre describes as "something of a cross-breeding experiment". It's called Daring Pairings and, as the publicity says, "instead of crossing a sheep with a kangaroo and getting a woolly jumper, or a centipede with a parrot and getting a walkie-talkie, we've been cross-breeding writers, artists and theatre companies."

Monday 10th December sees Talawa Dares, in which emerging writers Ashmeed Sohoye and David Hermanstein work on cross-art collaborations to create electric pieces of new writing. Originally written for Talawa's UNZIPPED festival, the two writers will continue to develop these short plays at Hampstead, incorporating music and dance to explore new political and cultural identities within their work. On Tuesday 11th September Paines Plough presents Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat (part one) by Mark Ravenhill, directed by Roxana Silbert, the first reading of Mark Ravenhill's epic new play cycle which is drawn from his Edinburgh Festival series Ravenhill For Breakfast, and is a collage of scenes exploring the personal and political effect of war on modern life. On Saturday 15th September members of the heat&light Company will present Pupation by Dennis Kelly and Natasha Bell, Georgia Lester, Indiana Seresin and Joey Sims. Drawing on the imaginations of four young writers, Dennis Kelly has written a ten-minute play which those same writers have gone on to complete. Selected on the basis of originality, imagination and raw talent, these young writers have a unique opportunity to inspire, and be inspired by, an Olivier and Bafta Award-nominated writer.
