Dramatikkens hus is a Norwegian theatre institution dedicated to the development of new dramatic writing. Through writing grants, workshops, lectures, readings, seminars and residencies we strive to support aspiring and established playwrights in their artistry.

We provide financial resources, professional advice and support and scenic resources to professional artists, writers and others who wish to develop new plays in Norwegian or in a Norwegian context. 10 % of all our artistic means are earmarked development of drama for children and young people.

There are about 80 playwrights working with support from the NCNP at any given time, and our annual catalog of completed works yearly counts 50-60 works.

We collaborate widely with producers and communities within theatre institutions and independent companies as well as fringe theatre environments. Our events are free, open to all and non-commerical.

Inquiries can be made to  info@dramatikkenshus.no.
