Be an Angel - join a radical new scheme to 'buy time' for struggling new playwrights to write!

Paul Anthony Morris was the first playwright chosen for the scheme in 2008 and, with our help, completed his new play IDENTITY. Pericles Snowdon became the second playwright to win the award in 2009 and completed an extraordinary piece on Romany gypsies, THEY WHO LAY IN THE FIELDS LIKE BEASTS. Kenneth Emson followed in 2010 writing WHITE about his home town in Thurrock. Sarah Grochala was our fourth winner in 2011 writing SMOLENSK inspired by the events unfolding after the Polish plane crash on 10 April 2010 and Clara Brennan has joined us as our fifth winner intent on writing a probing new play about the chocolate industry tracing the supply chain back to the Ivory Coast.
The levels of support are as follows:

• will be invited to a performed reading of the final draft where feedback is more than welcome
