Tom McGrath Writers' Room
What is it?
The Tom McGrath Writers’ Room, located next to our office on the Cultural Tenants floor, is a quiet, private room available to playwrights who need space for writing, round-the-table script development, or reading sessions with easy access to our Plays Library. It is the perfect place for playwrights to focus on their work or meet with collaborators in a welcoming, supportive setting.
Use of the Writers’ Room is completely free for playwrights. Other users can use the room but may be asked to make a small donation to Playwrights’ Studio’ work. The room is available Monday to Thursday for individual bookings and on Fridays for communal hotdesking. The room is open from 10.30am-5.30pm each day (10.30am-4.30pm on a Monday).
Priority will be given to playwrights or writer led projects and can be booked for one to four days per week.
Whilst the Writers’ Room is a flexible and creative environment, it is not suitable for rehearsals or auditions, due to its location next to our office and on a floor where other cultural organisations are based.

“Coming in to the Writers’ Room is, for me, like coming in to the office: it’s a calm, focused space that lets me leave everything else outside and concentrate on the work.”
“I can go and talk to the Playwrights’ Studio team or meet people for lunch at the cafe downstairs. It’s a joy to use the space and gives me a chance to meet other writers.”
