The essential playwriting career guide, from the team behind
acclaimed new writing theatre company Papatango. Writing a good
play is only a small part of making it as a successful playwright;
understanding the business side of building a career is just as
crucial. Yet most advice for budding writers focuses only on the
craft of playwriting, ignoring the practicalities of the industry
– which makes it harder for those without connections or know-how
to get their work on stage. Being a Playwright sets out,
transparently and honestly, all the factors besides writing that
playwrights need to know about to succeed. It includes advice on:
How to get a script noticed; Which programming and commissioning
opportunities to pursue; How to approach agents, companies and
collaborators Drawing on Papatango's decade-long experience of
discovering and launching successful new writers – who have gone
on to win prizes such as BAFTA, OffWestEnd, Royal National Theatre
Foundation and Alfred Fagon Awards – this straightforward and
accessible book discusses the opportunities and pitfalls of life as
a playwright. Whether you're an aspiring writer wondering how to
break into the industry, or a working playwright looking to land
bigger commissions, this is your insider road map to navigating the
world of professional theatre.
