Rogue Writers are delighted to invite you to our next show, building on the previous sell-out successes of 2010. One of the most exciting new writing nights in London, it is a chance to see new work performed and directed by some of London's finest up-and-coming talent.

Our monthly Rogue Writers' events stage four pieces of new work, each with a maximum length of 15 minutes. Prospective writers pitch their work and the best four are selected by a panel. We then supply directors and actors from a pool of creatives, making it one of the biggest and most inclusive new writing nights in town.

What's On Stage: "new writing performed and directed by some outstanding talent ... the pieces are varied and invariably exciting... it's just as much about the community of theatre as the night itself."

With a consistent and loyal following, Rogue Writers' has built up an impressive pedigree of talent, with writers and directors also working with Contact Theatre Manchester, The Factory, Tough Theatre, Stonecrabs Theatre in conjunction with the Albany Theatre, The c*ckTavern, Cheekish Productions and PapaTango Theatre. A handful of our company's successes include:
Jim Pope - Written and directed at the Soho Theatre and Camden Roundhouse

Graham Dickson - Winner of the Westminster award for playwrighting

Adam Morley - Director of Writers Avenue at the Soho Theatre

Donnla Hughes - Performed at The c*ckTavern, also Carlton Hobbs winner.

Amy Morgan - Theatre Clwyd, BBC Radio 4

Jude Christian - RADA directors course

Susie Riddell - BBC Radio Rep

Matt Roberts - Papatango Theatre Company

Spoonfed "The quality of the acting, writing and directing is excellent and the original concept for the event means that each time will be entirely different. Rogue Writers is a genuinely entertaining night"
