The Literary Department is the first port of call for work coming into Theatre503. Working closely with the other departments, we read submitted scripts, form relationships with writers, and offer dramaturgical support to work that is produced and developed in the theatre.
We look for work for the theatre's main season, but also work that may benefit from development as part of our complementary programme of works in progress, rehearsed readings and workshops.
We are also looking to instigate projects in-house. Please check the Events and Projects page for details.
Click here to find out how to submit your script to us by reading the submission guidelines in this section. There's also information about upcoming events and department projects, and a collection of handy links.
The Literary Department are:
Sarah Dickenson
Dramaturge/Literary Manager
Steve Harper
Literary Co-ordinator
Will Hammond
Senior Reader
And a talented bunch of readers.
