The Playwrights’ Programme

Our free course for writers and theatre makers in the Liverpool City Region
 


Each year, up to eight writers are invited to join our completely free Playwrights' Programme and work closely with our New Works team to hone their playwriting skills and knowledge. You can read more about the 2024 writers here

The programme invites writers to develop their playwriting craft through a series of fortnightly workshops led by the New Works associate, visiting writers, directors and other practitioners. The group receives a reading list, with access to our extensive script library and free tickets to all our in-house productions.

There are also supported opportunities to share work in table reads and Scratch Studio. Workshops will be based around discussions and writing exercises, with writers expected to share ongoing work with the rest of the group.

Thank you to The Garrick Charitable Trust for supporting this programme.
