Friday Night Unlimited is a grand, super diverse Writers Unlimited Festival night about and featuring books, films, stories, poems and current issues on five stages in Theater aan het Spui and Filmhuis Den Haag. Writers, poets and artists from home and abroad perform in talks, recite and speak about their favourite books or films. 

Choose your own route

During Friday Night Unlimited, you can choose your own route from some twenty programmes on five stages in Theater aan het Spui and Filmhuis Den Haag. Each programme lasts about 20 to 60 minutes. Drinks are available in the foyers and bookshop De Vries Van Stockum sells books and poetry collections by the performing authors.

Conversations are in English or Dutch. We ask authors to recite in the language in which their book or poem was written. In the Theater aan het Spui auditoriums, English and Dutch translations of the readings can be followed simultaneously via projections.

In mid-2026, Writers Unlimited will announce the first names of authors who will perform. The complete festival programme with all performances and timetables will be available at writersunlimited.nl from the beginning of December.
