The festival's lineup reflects a concerted effort to be representative and inclusive, with a significant focus on amplifying women writers, global majority voices, and neurodiverse narratives. From the opening act, Time Fly's, a nostalgic journey through nineties South East London, to the powerful drama of Run Black Girl Run, celebrating the resilience and spirit of a Nigerian girl, the programme is rich with stories that inspire, entertain, and provoke thought. Whether it's the immersive experience of Rain in the Serenade, exploring the complexities of modern-day dating, or the whimsical clowning of BANGTAIL, the Peckham Fringe will present an opportunity to discover new and emerging voices.
