The Writers’ Room by Michael Shannon

Once a week, four very different writers meet up to rip apart each others work. Kirk can't quit setting his stories in space. Sweet M.T.'s one-woman show is missing a good monologue. Ryan hasn't the guts to confront life on or off the page. And Beth is desperately searching for an ending.

Today when they arrive for their meeting a script is sitting on the table waiting for them. It's called 'The Writers' Room'. It's about four writers, has a dead body and not many pages left.

The Company

Accidental Theatre is a small new writing theatre company based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. We were founded in 2008 and we make unique pieces of new theatre that combine art forms together in a way that only theatre can, with our own sense of panache, excitement and skill. We love making new plays and working with writers, designers, actors and composers to bring what we love to do to audiences.

We premiered 'The Writers' Room' at the Pick 'n' Mix Festival in Belfast during June, in which we sold out our performances and had a fantastic response from audiences and industry professionals. It is a fantastic piece of theatre, a cross between dark comedy and darker drama and we cannot wait to bring it to London.

Your Donation

We are booked into the Camden Fringe in August, and have used the generosity of backers in Northern Ireland to help develop the show there and now we are looking for help for us to bring our show to London. This is the first time we have taken a show to London and we are very excited by the challenge of it all and your donation can make this happen and allow us to take work that we love to great and exciting new stages.

If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask via email, on our own website or below. We are grateful for any donations and we hope we can give you something meaningful back for your generosity.

Thank you!
