Dramatikkens hus (The Norwegian Centre for New Playwriting - NCNP), is a national development and resource centre for new dramatic writing. The NCNP supports dramatic writers, helps increase the quality of newly written Norwegian drama and works for the texts to be produced and meet a larger audience. We help create viable drama in all formats. Our services are tailored to the individual artist and project.

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.

Inquiries can be made to  info@dramatikkenshus.no.
