Writers' Room Festival

New writing. Big ideas. Regional talent.

The Marlowe Theatre is the home of new writing in Kent.

With new plays by Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) and Penelope Skinner (Lyonesse), alongside work by home-grown writers, Writers’ Room Festival presents a packed programme of rehearsed readings, workshops and talks with industry experts and leading playwrights, including David Eldridge (Betrayal), Yolanda Mercy (Quarter Life Crisis) and the Marlowe’s own Dramaturg, Leo Butler (Boy).
