Out of the Wings (London)

Out of the Wings Theatre Collective returns to the Omnibus Theatre for its annual festival of theatre from the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking worlds.

Join us for plays by writers traversing decades, kilometres, and borders of geography, culture and imagination. Alongside workshops, encounters with writers and translators, our festival book-sale, and an opportunity to meet the Out of the Wings Team (OOTW) team informally, discover with us the best of Hispanic and Lusophone playwriting, in a celebration of international collaboration and theatre in translation.

Born out of a collaboration between its co-founders and the Royal Shakespeare Company’s acclaimed Spanish Golden Age season, Out of the Wings has been bringing English translations of the theatre the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking worlds to the UK and beyond since 2008.

Over five nights, we present readings of plays from five different countries, in English translation and in the UK for the first time. After a year spent on screens, OOTW’s festival brings plays from Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Spain, Brazil and Peru to in-person life in a joyous return to our annual flagship event and a happy reunion with the Omnibus. Alongside workshops, encounters with writers and translators, our festival book-sale, and an opportunity to meet the OOTW team informally, discover with us the best of Hispanic and Lusophone playwriting, in a celebration of international collaboration and theatre in translation.

Each performance starts at 7.30 and costs £10 (£8 concessions).
