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.
