Writer Development
Menagerie’s Writer Development work has spawned many a new play. Our chief aim is to offer high-quality and rigorous support to emerging playwrights, largely through our Young Writers’ Workshop.
Applications Open for YWW 2027
The Young Writers’ Workshop is an intense mentoring and development programme for early career playwrights. We create a space for participants to explore, to take risks, and to dig deep. Great guest tutors like Winsome Pinnock, Tim Foley, Steve Waters and April de Angelis lead sessions alongside our own Artistic Directors.
Previous YWW participants include Bruntwood Award-winners Martha Loader and Daisy Miles, Fringe-First Winner Josie Dale-Jones, and Eastenders writer James McDermott .
Young Writers’ Workshop 2027
The Young Writers’ Workshop returns in January 2027! Applications are now open for writers aged 18-30 in the East/South-East of England.
