Meet the Playwrights of Tomorrow!
Join us for a night celebrating fresh voices in theatre, showcasing work from the Masterclass Trust Script Session Programme. Discover exciting new writing, share constructive feedback, and network with fellow creatives over a drink at the bar.
How It Works
Each writer has two minutes to introduce their script before a panel of actors perform a ten-minute excerpt. You, the audience, will then provide feedback via an app, followed by a short discussion with the writer.
