Writer's Room 2026 Showcase

A mysterious delivery, a sealed door, a can of worms… Sometimes a warning of something dangerous, forbidden or cursed, other times a request to wait until the perfect moment, but always the same instruction…DO NOT OPEN. The Writer’s Room is back with another evening of brilliant prose, poetry and plays. Come along and support our writers as they showcase an exciting range of new work in our Greene Room Bar. Six pieces of new writing on “Do Not Open” will be performed by a cast of professional, local actors for the very first time. The Writer’s Room is a peer-to-peer facilitated space, where writers can build new networks within the community and engage with writing briefs set by the group each term. Whether you write novels, short stories, plays, poetry, audio drama, this is a space in which you can experiment and learn from others with a similar interest.
