Maybe Meg will manage to get the PRS form in on time? Or maybe Michael will step out from behind the piano to mark the end of an era of bad jokes and disorganisation? Who knows? Who cares! Just book your tickets for one last party in the ADC Bar before Arthur does a much better job at organising them next year.

Got an idea but don't know where to go with it?
Got a structure but can't seem to write convincing dialogue?
Got nothing but an array of nebulous thoughts which you fancy devising from with a bunch of actors and seeing what happens?
Writers' Jam is back, with a spring in its step and a grin on its face (inspired by the sweet sweet prospect of artistic collaboration)!!! This an opportunity for writers / directors / anyone with an idea which they'd like to develop to come and run a workshop around it, with a group of actors, in the ADC bar. No obligation to perform it at the end. It's also an opportunity for actors to get involved in a freer kind of process than rehearsals normally offer, having creative input in the development of exciting new work.
We will welcome writing for film, theatre and radio, in any stage of development.

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.
