Catalyst is the cornerstone of our commitment to new writing for the theatre. This project offers in-depth professional development to early-career writers and directors. To those selected, we offer the chance to work with an ensemble of professional actors, and highly experienced writing and directing mentors in a safe and supportive space, to hone their craft, develop and showcase their new scripts. Places are strictly limited, and the work is intensive, challenging and exciting.
Join us for a very special sharing of extracts from new plays, written and directed by this year’s Catalyst cohort, and performed by a professional ensemble.
Age guidance: 14+
