ABOUT SPUN GLASS THEATRE:

Spun Glass Theatre is a community-focused theatre company dedicated to creating, supporting and presenting live performances. The theatre we make is centered around family. It is sometimes for families in its style and objective, often inclusive of early years’ experience of creativity. We are equally interested in exploring the idea of family in our society, telling stories that interrogate situations, moments, feelings, lived experience and themes that impact family life. Committed to providing accessible cultural space to do our work and enrich our surroundings we operate The Stade Hall in Hastings, standing in close relationship with other community spaces. Working closely with artists, audiences and partners, the company delivers culturally rich programming, while expanding access to theatre across Hastings and the wider region.

We are seeking to develop a brand new creative partnership with a playwright. The role has no fixed outcome however we are looking to invest in a writing creative, with a vision of developing new play/s for touring theatre for studio and community spaces in the South East. Developed, rehearsed and premiered at our community venue in Hastings, The Stade Hall.

The playwright will be supported and work closely with the Creative Director, and producing associates, and require an artistic commitment and/or understanding the company’s mission. The role will suit a playwright interested in tourable actor/character/relationship centric work, an individual that enjoys field research, and working closely with a director. You might be an emerging or new playwright, or someone with an established body of work excited by the opportunity to develop new plays and ideas with a company and small venue.
