Writers' Card Membership

The Royal Court has an unwavering commitment to writers.

For over 60 years, we have premiered groundbreaking new plays, launched and supported countless new playwrights, and championed the values of new writing.

From 2024, to respond to the challenges across the playwriting community, we’ve launched a new Writers’ Card Membership at the heart of our offer with exclusive events, resources and support – all completely free to join for playwrights.

Across these pages, you’ll find all the information on the Writers’ Card and how writers can engage with the Royal Court.
