1 Roe Street, Liverpool, L1 1HL. 0151 709 4321 boxoffice@liverpoolsroyalcourt.comOne of the region’s largest producers of theatre, Liverpool’s Royal Court has a focus on new writing.
The theatre began producing shows in 2006, and quite quickly developed its own house style. In the early years the programming was a mix of established and commissioned plays but since 2017 all of our work has been written for the Royal Court. That is 100 percent new writing on the main stage for more than six years!
As well as our main house works, the 150 seat Studio space is a great place to develop new plays and we commission three new pieces each year.
We are committed to supporting the development of new works and new writers whether for the Royal Court audience or not. With this in mind we have developed the following writing programmes. As access is an important part of the way we work, all of these initiatives are free to access.

At Liverpool’s Royal Court we’ve got two decades of experience of comedy theatre. Every year, we produce six or seven brand new shows, giving opportunities for new writers to get their first big break. With a mission to put Liverpool Lives on Stage, we do theatre with a Scouse accent, and comedy is at its core.
Now we want to see what you can do to make us laugh!
The 2027 Stage Write programme will be a brand-new edition, a Comedy Special supported by BBC Comedy.
