Out of the Wings Festival 2023
July 11-15
Out of the Wings returns for its seventh annual festival of theatre in translation from the worlds of Spanish-, Portuguese- and Catalan-language playwriting, and beyond. Commencing with the Out of the Wings Forum at King’s College London, the week continues at Omnibus Theatre with play readings from five different countries, all in English translation and in the UK for the first time.
Our 2023 play readings bring work from Nicaragua and Panama to our line-up for the first time, as well as plays from Catalonia, Argentina and Brazil. From a 20th-Century classic to new writing of the 21st, the plays of #OOTW2023 share stories across borders and explore universal themes of family life, the impact of conflict, the fight for human rights, the role of the artist, and the search for purpose in a confusing and fractured world.
