Playwriting Pop-up

The Abbey Theatre literary team read and respond to hundreds of scripts per year, as well as seeing productions of new work all over the country.

They are setting up one-day Pop-up events as an opportunity for playwrights to become familiar with the approach to play development at the Abbey Theatre. They will include workshops and discussions with exciting playwrights, as well as helpful Q and A sessions with experienced professionals from the world of script development and artistic programming.

The first event will be hosted by The Lyric Theatre, Belfast on June 11 from noon – 7.30pm.

If you are a playwright interested in attending our Belfast event, please send an expression of interest including your writing experience to date to ruth.mcgowan@abbeytheatre.ie by June 6th 2014. Places are strictly limited.

If you can’t make it to Belfast, but would like to attend in another location, please email Ruth McGowan at the above address to be kept posted about upcoming Playwriting Pop-up events in your area. Link here
