#JMKSpace: Developing New Plays with Writers with Ed Madden

July 28, 2021 by Jo

An exploration of some of the ways in which directors can provide dramaturgical support to writers from the genesis of an idea through to opening night, based on an ACE-funded project which Ed has just completed, developing new plays with four writers. Ed and Sam Steiner, one of the writers involved with the project, will share how the work completed in its six-month span has shaped their approach to their work, and talk about how that collaboration is best continued in the rehearsal room.

The session will take place 6:00 – 7:30pm on Monday 23rd August on Zoom.

This free #JMKSpace event is open to all and there are unlimited places available. To apply to take part please complete the form at the bottom of this page no later than 5pm on Thursday 19th August.

If you have any further access requirements, need technical support or have any other questions, please indicate on the form or contact jo@jmktrust.org.
