Write Club is The Hope Theatre’s new writing festival that will run throughout January 2025

 This festival of new work will highlight bold new stories with BIG ideas. It is open to anyone with a piece of writing just waiting for that debut performance or a theatre maker with a new idea.​

Up to thirty shows will be selected by The Hope Theatre’s Literary Team and each show successfully selected for the Festival will be given a run of two - four shows. In addition, each writer will be given support from the venue and invited to regular socials with other companies involved in the festival. 

Joint Artistic Directors Laurel Marks and Toby Hampton said “We’re both so excited about the launch of this festival. It will bring some light and joy to Upper Street in what is usually a dark and gloomy January! We love working with new writers and cannot wait to see what scripts you all have tucked up your sleeves. We’re looking for BIG & BOLD theatre making to showcase the brilliant talent that is teeming through the London fringe”

The deadline for 2025's festival is now closed and the festival has been announced.
