TenderWRITE Shorts & Big Plays

To be TENDER, to show care.
WRITE, to mark, on a surface, typically paper, with a pen, pencil or similar implement.
This series of readings shine a light on new and fresh stories from exciting new playwrights, all aged 16-24. Come experience life through the eyes of our youngest artists. There is love and desire, anxiety and fear, and a great ability to laugh despite the fact that the world is heating up to a point of explosion.
TenderWRITE is a young artist development programme in The Civic Theatre, Tallaght. Two plays developed as part of TenderWRITE feature in the 2025 Dublin Fringe Programme: AMSTERDAM by David Rawle and That’s Sooo Povo co-written by Sophie O’Toole of D’Girlos Theatre.
