Hi! My name’s Seb. I’m the literary associate for the Bread & Roses theatre and I’m excited to announce a new dramaturgical service that I’ll be offering!
Have you written a play and need a keen outside eye to look it over? Submitted a script to a competition but it didn’t get selected? Or maybe you’re working on a first draft and just aren’t sure if the dialogue is working.
Whatever stage of writing your play you’re at, I am here to help you!
So, what’s involved? I will read your play and go through it with a fine-toothed comb, making notes on my overall impressions, ideas for cuts, passages that need reworking and plenty more besides – no stone will be left unturned! If there are specific passages or points of your script you want me to prioritise my focus on, just let me know beforehand and I will make sure to give you the feedback you need.
I will present you with a detailed summary of where the script shines, what needs reworking and my interpretation of your story/characters. For all lengths of play, I will aim to have this back to you within a turnaround of 10 working days (this may be longer during busy periods but I will always let you know beforehand.)
I am happy to accept screenplays also but will not be able to offer much guidance on the technical side!
Short plays and above will also include a 20-minute follow-up phone or video call with me which you can use for additional questions, clarification on notes I’ve given or simply to chat more about ideas for the script.
PRICES
5 MINUTE PLAYS / MONOLOGUES (up to 1000 words): £25
SHORT PLAYS (1000 - 3500 words): £40
SHORT FULL-LENGTHS (3500 – 7000 words): £60
FULL-LENGTH PLAYS (7000 – 14000 words): £80
Longer play rates to be discussed.
Any questions, please email me at [email protected]
Thanks for your time and I look forward to working through your play with you!
