Write to Play is a paid year-long new writing course for D/deaf and disabled writers run by award-winning theatre company Graeae. With the programme now in its fifth year, Graeae is partnering with five acclaimed theatre companies, to offer BAME D/deaf and disabled playwrights nationwide the opportunity to develop their writing skills.

Throughout the programme, you'll be mentored and supported to participate in workshops led by theatre professionals to hone and develop your writing. You'll write two short pieces, as well as a full length play. If you’re passionate about theatre, keen to write for the stage and gain experience, we want to hear from you! All access requirements will be met.

"Write to Play is the most inspiring and encouraging opportunity I have had as a writer. I have had access to workshops, mentors and the Graeae team, all of who have helped me to explore my writing in ways not possible before. Apply, it will change your life forever."Khush Chahal, Year 4 Write to Play writer

A bursary of £1800 will be paid to writers on the programme throughout the year.
