Sleaford Little Theatre presents: 1 Act Play Festival 2026.
Step into an evening of sharp wit, creeping unease and forbidden magic as Sleaford Little Theatre presents a trio of contrasting one-act plays. From madcap, time-twisting comedy to unsettling midnight encounters, and darkly playful fantasy, this triple bill promises variety, imagination and plenty of surprises. It’s a celebration of local creativity, showcasing three original stories brought to life by the rich creative talent of Sleaford Little Theatre.
The Grandfather Paradox by Barry Wood

A fancy dress party spirals into wartime chaos as three unlikely heroes race to stop Hitler unlocking hell beneath Birmingham.
Locked at Midnight by Maria Bates

On the edge of midnight, a candlelit room, a stranger and a tarot reading unravel truths best left buried.
Once, After by Kei Bailey
Directed by Kim Rayner
When magic is outlawed but stories still sell, three bounty hunters are drawn into a dangerous deal steeped in folklore and forgotten spells.
Three plays. Three worlds. One compelling evening of live theatre.
