New writing theatre London

Much as we love our West End classics, theatre in London couldn’t survive without new writing. New writing theatre allows London’s theatre scene to evolve, to explore new ideas, to support new voices, and to develop fantastic new pieces of theatre that may eventually become classics themselves. But this wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for the venues that make a point of funding brand new productions, providing a space for them to be staged, and introducing new writing to the public.

National Theatre new writing brings ambitious new productions to the stage. Soho Theatre new writing, Royal Court Theatre new writing and Theatre 503 new writing nurtures talent and offers a platform for brand new creations that may not otherwise exist. And there are so many more fantastic venues in London that bring new writing to the public and champion writers of all backgrounds, helping to keep London’s theatre scene compelling, diverse, and alive.
