Be an Angel!
Join a radical new scheme to ‘buy time’ for struggling new playwrights to write!
The Adopt a Playwright Award gathers individual donors together to help playwrights of quality, who have had at least one play staged and come from backgrounds that offer little encouragement or financial support, to find the time and financial backing to go on writing and take their place among our culture’s storytellers.
Thank you and your Angels for creating such a support for playwrights. Playwriting is lonely, hard and taxing – to have an organisation such as yours that says the playwright matters and that their well-being matters is magnificent..”
