Tom McGrath Writers' Room
What is it?
In November 2011, Playwrights' Studio acquired an additional working space with desks to let to playwrights. The space is situated on the Cultural Tenants floor of the Centre of Contemporary Arts (CCA), two doors down from our main office.
Back in January 2012, we found ourselves going back to some of the original ideas of what Playwrights' Studio should offer to playwrights. One of these was, "space for development work," so the Tom McGrath Writers' Room, in a modest way, serves this need.
How does it work?
Desks are available to let on a part-time basis for £35 per month in the Tom McGrath Writers' Room. Furnished with desks and chairs, the room can accommodate up to five playwrights at a time and includes access to the Plays Library, wireless internet and printing facilities.
If you would like to be put on the waiting list to rent a desk or wish to arrange to view the Writers’ Room, please contact us at info@playwrightsstudio.co.uk.
“Coming in to the Writers’ Room is, for me, like coming in to the office: it’s a calm, focused space that lets me leave everything else outside and concentrate on the work.”
“I can go and talk to the Playwrights’ Studio team or meet people for lunch at the cafe downstairs. It’s a joy to use the space and gives me a chance to meet other writers.”
