‘Chosen Words’ is a project designed to support and develop new theatre writing in the North West. With processes based in current best practices of working with new writing, 6 writers shall be invited to join the project to develop a first draft play towards a production ready script.
With mentoring from award winning writer Rob Johnston and North West theatre director Charlie Mortimer, the writers shall develop their work in a supportive and professional process working with actors and dramaturgs from the beginnings of a play process.
You can hear some comments regarding best practices from Manchester theatre makers recorded in Jan 2014 as well as checking out www.ripplesinconcrete.co.uk which was the new writing project supported by Arts Council England in 2013 which opened discussions with Helen East and her script.
