Theatre503

We are pioneers in supporting new writers and a champion of their role in the theatre ecology. We find exceptional playwrights who will define the canon for the next generation. Learning and career development are at the core of what we do.

We are a 64-seat theatre based in Battersea, London. We stage the work of more first-time writers than any other theatre in the country. We programme over 100 new pieces of writing every year ranging from short plays to full runs of superb drama. We passionately believe that the most important element in a writer’s development is to see their work developed through to a full production on stage, performed to the highest professional standard in front of an audience.
