The Stage and Screen Circle is an opportunity for both individuals and companies from the film, TV and theatre industries to support the essential work of PEN International in protecting freedom of expression and celebrating storytelling.

PEN International and the stage and screen worlds have been intertwined for over one hundred years. One of PEN’s founding members, along with H.G Wells, was George Bernard Shaw.

Exceptional writers, playwrights, screenwriters, actors and film directors have been and are today members of PEN. Over 100 years since its inception, PEN’s active members have included Chinua Achebe, Margaret Atwood, J.M. Coetzee, Joseph Conrad, Nadine Gordimer, Günter Grass, Vaclav Havel, Eugène Ionesco, Mario Vargas Llosa, Norman Mailer, Amin Maalouf, Arthur Miller, Toni Morrison, Pablo Neruda, So Oksanen, Harold Pinter, Salman Rushdie, Orhan Pamuk, Léopold Sédar Senghor, Susan Sontag, Tom Stoppard, Rabindranath Tagore, Luisa Valenzuela, H.G. Wells, Liu Xiaobo and many more.

Together, with members from around the world, we have fought to protect the written word in all its forms.
