WHAT WE DO

Group photo taken for Follow Me, a site-specific show for the Birmingham Weekender featuring new writing from Bold Text Playwrights collective

Over 20 evenings of new plays at the Birmingham Rep, a promenade show set in a Victorian prison that was so popular people actually wanted to go back to jail, a walking tour of Digbeth revealing our most private memories, and a garden party with the ‘lunatiks’ of Soho House…

For eight busy working writers, we’ve done a lot since we started working together. Are you interested in working with us too?
