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.
In tumultuous times, the plays of #OOTW2026 bring provocation and challenge, distraction and delight.
In Murder with Malice by Víctor Hugo Rascón Banda, the death in the 1970s of a Mexican child at the hand of the US police is the centre of an investigation of inequality before the law. Translated by Carlos Morton, and based on true events, the play exposes the injustices faced by the Chicano community.
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.
