Peggy Ramsay Foundation
The Peggy Ramsay Foundation give money to theatre writers in order to afford them the time and the space to write. You can be a writer who's only had one play professionally produced, a writer who's had dozens of successes or a writer who's somewhere in between - if you're struggling to pay the bills, then they can help.
They only support writers resident in the British Isles and who have had at least one production produced in the British Isles which meets their qualifying production requirements.
Guidelines
They support musical book writers and lyricists as well as writers of straight plays.
They also support writers who write theatre for families and young people.
They do not support writers who write solely for media other than theatre.
They do not support composers.
They will not accept more than one application from a writer in any 18 month period and other than in exceptional circumstances will not make more than three grants in total.
They cannot cover production costs, workshops, reading or to pay for a dramaturg- please only apply if you are a writer who needs the time and the space to write.
