Zoom Feedback Session + Written Notes

Often, feedback is the most useful when you can ask questions, bounce ideas around and discuss particular areas of concern, and in our full script consulting service, you get to do exactly this! Feedback will be delivered in the form a 90 minute Zoom (or phone, whatever you are most comfortable with) session and you’ll also get a set of written follow up notes so you don’t have to worry too much about taking notes during the session.             

Cost:

One act plays/ approx 40 minutes:  £112 members/ £140 non-members

Full length plays/ approx 90 minutes: £128 members /£160 non members

Plays above 100 pages will be subject to an additional reading charge which will be communicated with you at the time of booking.  

Written Report only

Sometimes, you just need to see some feedback down on paper and for those who’d rather work through notes on their own rather than embarking on a discussion, this option is perfect.  You’ll get a detailed  report from one of our experienced consultants which will address everything you need to redraft your play.

First 10 Pages & Premise (Written Report)

If you’re hoping to submit your play to a competition or theatre, those first few pages are crucial in grabbing the attention of a reader. In this option, you get detailed feedback on the opening pages of your script and tips on how to polish them to perfection.

You’ll also get feedback on your premise and how successfully you set up your ideas within your first 10 pages. Along with your script, you’ll need to send us a one-page outline of your idea (think plot breakdown rather than marketing blurb!) so we can give you feedback on how your concept holds up and how we see your play developing. 
Cost: £33 members (£42 non members)

Zoom Table Reading 

Already written several drafts and your work is pretty much polished? Not sure where to go next? Then perhaps it’s time to hear your work read out loud by professional actors? You’ll get a 2-3 hour Zoom session facilitated by a member of our script consulting team where actors will read your play and participate in a feedback discussion afterwards. You’ll also get a recording of the session so you don’t have to worry about missing anything on the day! 

Cost: £180 (members)/ £220 non members / plus £60 per actor required. which is paid in full to the actors. This includes dramaturgical support and feedback from one of our dramaturgs. For smaller budgets, we can also work with fewer actors and focus on extracts from the play – talk to us about what you need! 

Sitting in on a pre-arranged Zoom Reading 

Already organised a Zoom reading and would like an experienced dramaturg to attend and contribute to the discussion? We can come along and offer feedback during the meeting. If you’d like further feedback, you can pair this up with one of our other script consulting packages.

20 % discount for followup sessions: Our service is designed to ensure that you have all the information you need to take your play forwards after one script consulting session.  However, we also recognise that some people prefer to be supported through more than one draft; in this instance, a reduced fee is available since there is a bit less work involved for the reader, who is already familiar with the world of your play. Please note that the subsequent draft discount is not available on Zoom table reads. 

We look forward to supporting your work!
