The Equinox New Play Festival is an annual Ira Brind School of Theater Arts event that highlights student work. Equinox is completely produced, written, directed, designed, stage managed and performed by students. The pieces in this year's festival were prompted by Stage designer Es Devlin. Each playwright was asked to take inspiration from one of Es’ many works to write short plays. Using this the students are able to create a festival of aesthetically similar works with a wide range of topics and ideas.
