South Asian Playwrights' Programme
National Theatre of Scotland
The South Asian Playwrights’ Programme forms part of a long-term commitment from the National Theatre of Scotland to develop South Asian theatre artists and platform their work. The programme provides two paid opportunities for Scottish South Asian playwrights. Each writer will develop a new play with support from professional dramaturgs, actors and directors, ahead of the play being licenced and further developed and produced by Glasgow Lunchtime Theatre, in a future season of A Play A Pie and A Pint (PPP). This programme recognises that South Asian writers face specific barriers to developing their craft and accessing a ladder of progression to professional production opportunities, barriers which are rooted in a history of marginalisation and systemic underinvestment in artists of South Asian heritage by predominantly white-led organisations. It has been designed for writers who have already written at least one full length stage play (50mins +), but not yet received more than one professional funded production of their work (or had a production at PPP), and would benefit from professional artistic and dramaturgical support in their development as a writer. South Asian Playwrights’ Programme is a collaboration between the National Theatre of Scotland, Glasgow Lunchtime Theatre, Playwrights’ Studio, Scotland and Bijli Productions. Each selected writer will receive a fee of £2,750 towards the writing of a first draft of a new 50 min play, for a maximum of 3 performers. This fee is in addition to the license fee which will be paid by Glasgow Lunchtime Theatre on production.
