Writer's Block is also known as: Writer's Block: Riverside Drive or Writer's Block: Two One Act Plays: Riverside Drive.

"Writer's Block" is a pair of two distinct one-act plays which Woody Allen wrote and directed. The two plays premiered on the same night and are published in the same volume. Although the two plays share some common themes and stylistic elements, the plots and characters are completely separate and unrelated.

"Writer's Block" debuted at the Atlantic Theater Company on 336 West 20th Street in New York City. Previews began on Wednesday, April 23, 2003, but the actual opening night was Thursday, May 15, 2003.
