Writers Workshop
The Everyman Theatres Writers’ Workshops have been running for over 15 years. It is a networking and training facility for playwrights based in Gloucestershire, the Midlands and the South West.
The scheme is overseen by the Everyman’s Creative Director, Paul Milton, and is delivered in the theatre itself, sometimes on a weekday evening, usually 7.00-9.30pm, and sometimes at a weekend. Often there is a guest workshop leader; otherwise, there is an opportunity for writers’ scripts to be read by professional actors followed by group feedback. Recently the Writers’ Workshops have worked alongside the Everyman’s Actors’ Workshops to explore how devised theatre can progress to script.
Wednesday 8th October 2025 7.00-9.30pm). Writing Audio Drama led by Peter Leslie Wild in the Directors' Lounge.
Have you ever thought of writing an audio drama script – whether for radio or podcast? This workshop will look at what makes writing for radio distinct from theatre, TV or film. Using examples from current broadcasts as well as practical writing exercises, the aim is to get you started on the road to writing in sound.
Peter Leslie Wild has produced and directed many radio plays for BBC Radio 4, Radio 3 and 4 Extra. He has directed a number of site-specific audio dramas, and is currently a regular freelance director for The Archers.

Please bring up to 10 minute sections of your work to be read, we will have 2 actors in the room to read. This session will also explore titles of plays. Please can you bring your favourite titles to be discussed.
