The Marlowe Society's Hatch is an event for the theatre community providing space for short excerpts of student new writing of any genre to be staged at the ADC Theatre. This is a night particularly useful to those looking to test audience reaction to a piece in development. At a Hatch, we want you to feel like you can fail, succeed, slip up, try again, get it wrong, get it right... but most importantly, write.

The Marlowe Society’s Hatch is an event for the theatre community providing space for short excerpts of student new writing of any genre to be staged at the ADC Theatre.
This HATCH launches a brand new year-long program for writers that the Marlowe is running in 2017-18, offering a hub for the writing community with a biweekly writers' group. This evening will be particularly useful to those looking to test audience reaction to a piece in development. It will be both for existing ADC regulars to reconvene at the beginning of the year and for freshers or newly inspired theatre-makers to meet the community. Our first writer's programme session will be Wednesday the 11th following the HATCH.
At a HATCH, we want you to feel like you can fail, succeed, slip up, try again, get it wrong, get it right... but most importantly, write.
Details for writers, actors and directors who would like to be involved in the night are below.
This night is in the ADC Theatre Bar on Monday 9th October at 8pm.
For tickets: https://www.adctheatre.com/whats-on/literary/hatch/
Doors open at 7. Before and after the event there will be social drinks and a chance to meet the new committee.

Send us your questions through social media, e-mail, pigeon post, smoke signals, a post-it note placed on our forehead while we sleep, or an elderly gentleman messenger who is carrying your question in a folded piece of paper in his wallet.
All proceeds will be donated to the Samaritans charity.
