Weaver Hughes Writers' Toolbox

Weaver Hughes Ensemble is entering a new stage in its work with writers and their writing. The company has announced its inaugural course for the writer, the Writers' Toolbox, which begins in April.

The toolbox is a ten-week course designed to expose writers to new techniques and ideas surrounding the craft and the art of playwrighting. The course will take place in a central London location on a weekday evening, and each session will last approximately 90 minutes. The course will be designed to facilitate in the creation of a new play. Following the ten-week period, writers involved will be encouraged to finish their draft in the two-month period following, and submit this to the company for feedback and assessment.

The Writers' Toolbox is designed for new writers of any age and aims to further their knowledge by introducing them to a variety of techniques, methods, existing writers as well as the company behind Weaver Hughes Ensemble. There is no cost or charge for participating in the ten-week-course.

They are interested in hearing from individuals who would like to participate in the Writers' Toolbox.

Please send the following:

1) a 10-25 page sample of your writing, and
2) a short covering letter (no more than a page) on you and why you want to write
