A free workshop with Tom Wells 

Seen our Writers’ Group sharings and want to understand how they came to be? Look no further. This relaxed and free taster session gives you a feel for how our Introduction to Playwriting group works, what to expect and whether it’s the right fit for you.

Led by our brilliant course leader and acclaimed playwright Tom Wells, you’ll take part in a short writing exercise, hear from past participants and get a sense of the supportive environment Tom creates for emerging writers. Whether you’re new to playwriting or looking to sharpen your voice, this session is a toe-dipping way to ask any questions before applying to the next group in 2027.
