Weve played a unique and award-winning role in the development of new writing in Britain for more than 40 years. Our Writers Lab programme is designed to support new playwrights to create a full-length play or piece of theatre, over 9 months. We meet participants once a month from October through to June, on Tuesday evenings or Saturdays. Workshops cover a wide range of topics and are led by Chris White, Lakesha Arie-Angelou, Holly DeAngelis and Jules Haworth with a number of guest artists involved over the year. We take writers through a three-draft process with one-to-one dramaturgy support and at the end of the process writers submit to our presitigious Tony Craze Award (annual)/Verity Bargate Award (biennial). Writers who have completed the programme include: Amrou Al-Kadhi, Archie Maddocks, Charlotte Josephine, Ella Road, Holly Robinson, Iman Qureshi, Ifeyinwa Frederick, Kalungi Ssebandeke, Matilda Ibini, Milly Thomas, Phoebe clair-Powell, Ross Willis, Ryan Calais Cameron, Tom Wright, Yolanda Mercy and many more.
