With hopes your 2024 was full of creative, collaborative projects and 2025 has started in the same vein for the year ahead.
At our 2024 monthly development sessions The Script Readers explored 11 new inspiring scripts, all challenging, interesting, provocative and always entertaining stories.
We look forward to exploring YOURS in 2025 with YOU!
We believe that an essential part of developing excellent stage, radio and screen plays is hearing your work read by professional actors.
The Script Readers – founded by actor Shenagh Govan in 2008, offers writers this opportunity at the monthly workshops at Theatre Royal Stratford East.
The reading, with the writer present, is followed by an in-depth structured discussion by the whole group, including other actors, writers and directors. Writers have found the process both constructive and energising, taking away valuable insight in further developing their piece of work.

“The Script Readers have cultivated a wonderful collective of talented and supportive actors and theatre practitioners who are committed to nurturing new work. The reading they gave my play helped to reveal its shape and sparked a discussion that gave me constructive and encouraging feedback”
