The Royal Court and Kudos are specifically looking for writers who perceive that there are barriers to getting their work developed and produced in theatre and television because of class, disability, education, ethnicity, gender identity, geography or any other barrier.

The three £10,000 bursaries (with additional travel and accommodation expenses covered) will support writers for a period of six months from January 2019. During this time, they will be able to take part in and challenge the work of the Royal Court and Kudos. There will also be opportunities to see productions, meet theatre and television writers who have significantly contributed to both forms and have ongoing artistic conversations with staff at the Royal Court and Kudos.

The Royal Court Theatre is the leading force in world theatre for energetically cultivating writers – undiscovered, emerging and established. Kudos is one of the world’s leading television production companies, who are passionate programme makers specialising in scripted content. The Fellowships are a way to begin relationships with writers who feel they wouldn’t otherwise have access to either organisation.

Writers who present the world in new and unfamiliar ways through the originality of their voice, exceptional skill and bold execution of their ideas should apply.
