Are you an aspiring playwright?
Would you like professional guidance from an award-winning theatre company to develop your work? This new writer’s scheme could be for you.
Papatango, a new writing company whose discoveries have won BAFTAs and transferred worldwide, and The Quarry Theatre, Bedford’s newest theatre, are launching a joint scheme to discover and develop Bedford writers and showcase their work.
This scheme will support a group of aspiring playwrights to draft a new play each from January – June 2016, culminating in a rehearsed reading of two of the scripts in the summer. Further development or production is a possibility.
Papatango invite anonymous applications from writers from across Bedford. Submissions should be made by email to scripts@papatango.co.uk.
