Script Club is an exclusive chance to connect with some of the most celebrated writers working today, enrich your journey as a playwright and engage with a like-minded creative community.

This exciting collaboration between Outside Edge Theatre Company and Nick Hern Books, in partnership with Cardboard Citizens, Clean Break and Synergy Theatre Project, invites members and participants of these organisations to explore the UK’s most powerful plays with the writers who created them.

In each Script Club session, you will dive into a featured play with free digital access to the text provided by Nick Hern Books, followed by a dynamic in-person Q&A with the playwright. This is an invaluable opportunity to learn first-hand how each play was conceived, developed and brought to life on stage. You’ll gain unique insights, practical skills and creative inspiration to apply to your own work, all while connecting with fellow writers and artists from other leading theatre organisations working with writers from underrepresented backgrounds.

This exclusive opportunity is open only to members of Outside Edge, Cardboard Citizens, Clean Break and Synergy Theatre Project. All active OETC participants are invited to sign-up for Script Clubs via email and text.

With thanks to the Bush Theatre for hosting and supporting Script Club. We look forward to bringing together these talented voices to inspire and elevate our creative community.
