Our exciting LGBTQ+ new writing events
'this is theatre that you can take a newcomer to'
I Love Manchester
Qweer Shorts began life in August 2021 above The King's Arms, Salford.
A 'semi-scratch' night, mixing script-in-hand early drafts with more produced developed pieces of LGBTQ+ new writing.
'Qweer Shorts.. will make you laugh, cry and leave you in awe’
I Love Manchester
In January 2023 Qweer Shorts moved to Hope Mill Theatre - launching at their annual queer Turn On Fest.
In August a full production ran for a week to coincide with Manchester Pride, followed by a couple of nights in Liverpool's Hope Street Theatre
There have since been three one-off specials
Two Christmas themed 'Festive Qweer Shorts' and in 2025, Hope 200, where 5 writers were commissioned to pen five special hisitoric queer pieces to mark the 200th Anniversary of Hope Mill.
'Qweerdog have triumphed ... Incredible work'
