In this episode of The Writer’s Toolkit Podcast, we explore the benefits of engaging a dramaturg in the development of new writing with special guest, Script Consultant and Dramaturg, Allison Horsley. With an impressive background that spans American regional theatres and Broadway musicals like Jersey Boys and Doctor Zhivago, plus her work with the translation of Chekhov&#39;s major plays, Allison’s insights are invaluable. She is also the co-author of Writing Adaptations and Translations for the Stage. Join us as we explore how dramaturgy can elevate new writing and provide crucial support for playwrights.

In this episode, we dive into the magical world of London’s pub theatres—vital stages for new writing in the UK. We explore how these intimate spaces support emerging talent and connect directly with audiences with insights from Heather Jeffery, editor of LondonPubTheatres.com, and Jonathan Blakeley, a writer and performer who self-produced his play &#34;Stitches&#34; at the Hope Theatre in February 2024. So grab a drink, and let&#39;s head up the creaking staircase and celebrate the spirit of creativity and community that makes pub theatres the lifeblood of British theatre.

Season 3 of The Writer&#39;s Toolkit podcast kicks off with a new focus: empowering playwrights to take control of their creative journeys and find innovative ways to share their work with audiences. In this episode, we shine a spotlight on The Camden Fringe, a London festival known for its accessibility and support of new plays. Paul talks to the co-directors of the festival, Michelle Flower and Zena Barrie, about its success and vision, and we hear from theatre makers Pavan J Singh and Valeria Suaste, who share their experiences bringing their plays to Camden in August.

In this episode, I chat with Australian playwright Hilary Bell. Ahead of the opening of her brand-new version of A Christmas Carol, Hilary shares her tips for writing an adaptation and talks about her modern-day treatment of Dickens&#39; immortal classic. We also discuss the use of puppetry in Hilary&#39;s chilling play, Splinter, and Summer of Harold, three stories that intertwine to take us on a hilarious, poignant and magical journey at Sydney&#39;s Ensemble Theatre in September 2023.“I&#39;ve always looked for different ways to collaborate.

In this episode, I meet Andrea Scott and Nick Green, the playwrights behind Every Day She Rose, a bracing play that exists where racial and queer politics collide. The fractured love story is set against the backdrop of the 2016 Toronto Pride parade, where celebrations are brought to a standstill by Black Lives Matter protestors. Now best friends Mark, a white gay man, and Cathy-Ann, his straight black girlfriend are about to discover that the things that brought them together could be the very things that will drive them apart. “Nick Green and Andrea Scott are two of the most exciting voices in Canadian theatre.” - Now Magazine, Toronto.Connect with Andrea<ul><li><a href="http://callmescottyproductions.com" rel="nofollow">Visit Andrea’s website</a></li><li>Connect on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/andreammscott/" rel="nofollow">@andreammscott</a></li><li>Connect on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/andreammscott" rel="nofollow">@andreammscott</a></li><li>Andrea’s published plays at <a href="https://www.playwrightscanada.com/Authors/S/Scott-Andrea" rel="nofollow">Playwrights Canada Press</a></li><li>Andrea’s published plays at <a href="https://www.jgshillingford.com/?post_type=product&s=andrea+scott" rel="nofollow">Scirocco Drama</a></li></ul>Connect with Nick<ul><li><a href="https://www.socialdistancingfestival.com" rel="nofollow">Visit Nick’s website</a></li><li>Connect on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ngreen4321/" rel="nofollow">@ngreen4321</a></li><li>Connect on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/_NicholasGee" rel="nofollow">@NicholasGee</a></li><li>Nick’s published plays at <a href="https://www.playwrightscanada.com/Authors/G/Green-Nick" rel="nofollow">Playwrights Canada Press</a></li></ul>Connect with Paul<ul><li>Buy the book, <a href="https://amzn.to/37TKfny" rel="nofollow">The Writer&#39;s Toolkit</a></li><li><a href="https://www.paulkalburgi.com/" rel="nofollow">Visit Paul&#39;s website</a></li><li>Connect on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/paulkalburgi/" rel="nofollow">@PaulKalburgi</a></li><li>Connect on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/paulkalburgi" rel="nofollow">@PaulKalburgi</a></li></ul>Support the show!This podcast is fuelled by coffee.

In this episode, I return home to England to visit the writing room of one of our best-loved playwrights, Simon Stephens. Simon is perhaps best known for his critically acclaimed stage adaptation of Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which enjoyed acclaim in the West End and on Broadway, winning Best New Play at both the Olivier’s in 2013 and the Tony’s in 2015. Time Magazine called the play ‘life-affirming&#39; and &#39;unmissable’, - evidenced by the 5 Tony Awards, 6 Drama Desk Awards and 7 Olivier Awards the play collected.Words of Wisdom&#34;Make sure when you write a play you&#39;ve read it from the point of view of each of your characters, so you chart their psychological and emotional journey individually so that it&#39;s all cogent, all makes sense, and has a sense of movement and progression&#34;. - Simon Stephens.Discover Simon&#39;s work<ul><li>Simon&#39;s plays at <a href="https://www.dramaonlinelibrary.com/search-results?any=simon+stephens&field=date&size=20&sort=desc&su=stephensSimon" rel="nofollow">Drama Online</a></li><li><a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/simon-stephens-a-working-diary-9781474251419/" rel="nofollow">Simon Stephens: A Working Diary</a></li></ul>Connect with Paul<ul><li>Buy the book, <a href="https://amzn.to/37TKfny" rel="nofollow">The Writer&#39;s Toolkit</a></li><li><a href="https://www.paulkalburgi.com/" rel="nofollow">Visit Paul&#39;s website</a></li><li>Connect on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/paulkalburgi/" rel="nofollow">@PaulKalburgi</a></li><li>Connect on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/paulkalburgi" rel="nofollow">@PaulKalburgi</a></li></ul>Support the show!This podcast is fuelled by coffee.
