Write With… is an on-line communal work session to nurture creativity, carve out time to be a playwright and hold yourself accountable to your goals as a professional playwright.
You can join us at home, on the train, in a café – anywhere that you might carve out time to be a writer.
These sessions are not an opportunity to share work, receive feedback on your work or pitch ideas to either Sherman Theatre or Theatr Clwyd – it is to focus on the process of writing, build community and find support with fellow playwrights.
This session of Write With… will be led by Vinay Patel.
Vinay Patel is a scriptwriter from South East London. His TV debut, Murdered By My Father, won 2 RTS Awards including Best Single Drama and was nominated for three BAFTAs. Vinay has since written episodes for Good Karma Hospital, Doctor Who and, most recently, the Netflix adaptation of David Nicholls’ One Day. He is developing a TV series with Motive Pictures/Fifth Season and a historical sports feature with Film4.
For theatre, he has written a romantic epic (An Adventure) for the Bush, an office satire about language and offence (Sticks & Stones) for Paines Plough and a South Asian sci-fi adaptation of The Cherry Orchard, for the Yard/HOME. He is currently an associate playwright at the Royal Court Theatre, a playwright-in-residence at the Royal Shakespeare Company, as well as working on several projects for the stage including a play for Empire Street Productions, an adaptation of Cloud Atlas for English Touring Theatre and a musical for ATG.
Write With… is delivered in partnership with Sherman Theatre.
