Come and see our Stable of Playwrights!
From 12th – 18th March, we will activate the inspiring space that is THE STABLES @ the Meat Market with a double-bill season of new plays created by Melbourne Writers’ Theatre playwrights. At 6.30pm, immerse yourself in Lyceum Highway – the edgy, powerful drama for which writer K V Adams received The 2025 Amethyst Award. Then at 8.30pm, enjoy a showcase of original, entertaining monologues in Metropolis Monologues. 11 MWT playwrights celebrated under one iconic roof, with tickets on sale from 22nd Jan. Save the dates!
It’s an exciting note on which to kick off a new year that will be rich in opportunities for playwrights and artists from the MWT community. If you are currently not a member of MWT but would like to join, we’d love to have you on board. Since 1982 MWT has provided pathways to production for new, emerging and experienced playwrights from across Victoria. From workshops to writing programs, script assessments to rehearsed readings, and opportunities to have your scripts performed on stage in theatrical seasons like the one we will present in March – if you want to be part of a community of talented playwrights, and be supported to achieve your playwriting goals, join MWT today!
