A WORD AFTER A WORD AFTER A WORD

A Word After A Word After A Word is an evening of theatre showcasing a selection of new work from woman/non-binary writers and directors.

Writers are encouraged to submit their work via a public callout, with the programme then curated by the That What’s Wild team. We work with our writers to locate the best directors and performers to bring their pieces to life, culminating in an evening of new theatre where people can both discover new work and form new creative connections.


A Word After A Word After A Word ran for the first time at the Union Theatre on 19th June 2025. The event will be returning to the theatre for its second iteration in November 2025. The listings for each event can be found below.
