Our Writers’ Lab programme is an entry-level course designed to support new writers in creating their first play over the course of 9 months. The Lab is led by Sharmila Chauhan, Jules Haworth and Roy Alexander Weise, featuring a number of guest artists throughout the Lab, with sessions covering a range of topics on the art of playwriting. We take writers through a three-draft process with one-to-one feedback support, with an opportunity at the end of the process for writers to be considered for our annual Tony Craze Award.
Writers who have completed the course:
AJ Yi, Amrou Al-Kadhi, Ava Wong Davies, Charlie Josephine, Danusia Samal, Iman Qureshi, Ifeyinwa Frederick, James McDermott, Jasmine Lee-Jones, Kalungi Ssebandeke, Karim Khan, Matilda Feyiṣayọ Ibini, Nicole Lecky, Phoebe Eclair-Powell, Ross Willis, Ryan Calais Cameron, Sophie Swithinbank, Tom Wright, Yasmin Joseph, Yolanda Mercy and many more.
