Papatango champion emerging playwrights, especially people otherwise without pathways into theatre. They support over 4000 writers each year through a wide range of opportunities, all completely free, open to anyone and anonymously assessed. Writers given their break with Paptango have gone on to win BAFTAs, OffWestEnd and Royal National Theatre Foundation awards and premiere in over 20 countries, while Papatango productions have toured the UK, winning Critics’ Circle, OffWestEnd and Alfred Fagon awards. Chris and George recently drew on their experience with Papatango to co-author the best-selling Being A Playwright: A Career Guide For Writers, acclaimed as a “phenomenon for playwriting good” (Steve Waters).
