Join Out of the Wings for its 10th annual festival of UK-premiere play readings from Ibero-America.
Out of the Wings returns for its annual festival of Ibero-American playwriting. Celebrating our 10th festival, we present readings of plays from five different countries, all in English translation, and in the UK for the first time.
The plays of OOTW2025 traversed continents and centuries, the real and the dreamed, the playful and the poignant, from the Salem witch trials seen through a Spanish lens, to a comic dystopian future from Brazil; from the dreams of a literary giant in Portugal to the longings of youth in Chile; from the delight of 1940s radio theatre from Colombia to a comedic road-trip from Mexico to the Arctic. Join us in 2026 for more journeys of discovery, imagination, and surprise.
The play readings are one element of #OOTW2026's six-day programme of theatre in translation. This unmissable flagship event in the OOTW calendar begins with the OOTW Forum at King's College London, then continues with practical workshops, and opportunities to meet the OOTW team. Join us as we showcase the diversity of playwriting in Iberia and Latin America across a week of creativity, and cross-border collaboration.
Born out of a collaboration between its co-founders and the Royal Shakespeare Company's acclaimed Spanish Golden Age season, OOTW has been bringing English translations of theatre from the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking worlds to the UK and beyond since 2008.
All plays at #OOTW2026 will be presented as staged readings.
