It’s get-in Arcola Theatre for 2023 #PapatangoPrize winner SOME DEMON by Laura Waldren. As we open this world premiere by a debut writer, we thought it might be useful to be transparent about what this show takes. The £££, the timeline, the risks, all of it.

So, here goes...

Top 8 out of 557 scripts. Not too bad. Wish me luck for the next time.

We are so excited to announce the winner of the Birmingham Rep’s inaugural Victoria Wood Playwriting Prize for Comedy🎭 as actor and playwright Eugene O’Hare for his play, Portugal!
