What is the Boiler Room Development Programme?
The Boiler Room Writer Development Programme is a new programme for next year brought to you by Peripeteia Theatre. With the aim of supporting a small group of writers, throughout 2026, who are based or have a means of traveling to Greater Manchester.
These in-person sessions will be fairly flexible for writers who want support for developing their writing through workshops, peer-support, industry led sessions and mentorship.
Peripeteia Theatre are welcoming of writers from all different stages in their journey – even if you’ve never written before but want the support and motivation to do so, get in touch!
The programme will run throughout 2026 with the option of having a showcase of an extract of your work in late 2026/ Early 2027 at a theatre in Greater Manchester.
