Play Reading Week is an annual event hosted by the Tarragon Theatre. Each year, the theatre invites writers into its Playwrights Unit, where they work to develop a new play. The creative process is overseen by artistic director Richard Rose and literary manager Andrea Romaldi. The plays are treated to various readings throughout the year in which the playwright is able to receive constructive feedback of their work. The process culminates in Play Reading Week, where each play from the unit receives a public reading by professional actors.
Tarragon Theatre is well known for its development, creation and encouragement of new work. Over 170 works have premiered at Tarragon. Playwrights who have premiered their work here include Morwyn Brebner, David French, Michael Healey, Joan MacLeod, Morris Panych, James Reaney, Jason Sherman and Judith Thompson among many others.
