Jerwood Royal Court CommissioningScheme 2027
All Information
The Jerwood Royal Court Commissioning Scheme supports the commissioning of new plays by helping theatres and producers make an initial financial commitment to playwrights. The scheme is designed to encourage ambitious new writing by sharing the risk involved in commissioning new work. It is especially useful for playwrights who have a producing venue or company willing to work with them, because applications are made jointly rather than by a writer seeking an unrestricted personal grant.
