Dublin Fringe Festival is delighted to present a series of rehearsed readings from a selection of scripts that captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. A platform for emerging talent, three young writers come together for a day to showcase their new work, with facilitated discussion and refreshment.

How To Make a Mountain Stephen Kennedy (Ireland) (12.30pm) Reluctant but game, Barry joins best friend Tony on a blind double date, a night that starts to go seriously astray as soon as the appetisers are ordered. A modern day comedy of manners, errors and cultural misunderstanding.

Beauty Shawn Sturnick (USA) (2pm) Do you want to be adored? Harbour Hellenistic aspirations and crave the ideal look of that sculpted Adonis David? Book an appointment at Angel’s Beauty Salon where she’ll wash and blow-dry you to perfection…but only if you really deserve it. The ultimate beauty shop smack-down. Directed by Thomas Conway

The Blueprint Paul McMahon (Ireland) (3.30pm) A surreal investigation into the nightmare of the writing process, a murky netherworld of frustrated artistry and the isolated writer. In a dark and lyrical journey, the writer realises that the road to, and out of, this cerebral labyrinth is only reached by following his so-called blueprint.
