Scripts written by Illawarra writers were favoured heavily by our directors, an impressive testimony to our local visionaries who were up against some of our best scripts submitted from around the world.

As an open access theatre festival, Short+Sweet Perth is bringing together a broad range of artists.

Most actors and directors who participate will be from Perth and regional Western Australia, but everyone who can get here is welcome.

The Short+Sweet family is committed to building a more creative world, 10 minutes at a time.
