Unlettered

The AUTUMN FESTIVAL of Norfolk & UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA presents 

UNLETTERED By RACHEL OSBORNE

Directed by NICKY ALLPRESS | Produced for UEA by STEVE WATERS 

Sunday 23rd November 2025 | 7.30pm | UEA DRAMA STUDIO  

In this new partnership project the festival and UEA have teamed up to launch a new platform for emerging authors, graduates and alumni.  

Written by Norfolk-born Rachel Osborne, this compelling character study is a brand new dark comedy from an all-female creative team. Unlettered receives its first rehearsed reading at UEA as a part of the Autumn Festival’s 15th anniversary.   

‘You’re not a visionary mystic. You’re a warmonger.’

Nina, a formidably caustic scriptwriter, is on the run, torn between seeking escape and inspiration in this vibrant Norfolk-based comedy. Debs - a seemingly stolid member of the rural community – is Nina’s unexpected AirBnB host, abounding in perceptive wit, and harbouring a long-held secret.

Directed by award-winning NICKY ALLPRESS | Credits include The Shape of Things, Ulster American, The Walworth Farce.

Tickets. £10/£7 Concs.
