Get expert feedback to help you strengthen your play, solve script problems, and move your project forward with confidence.

Whether you’re working on a first draft, preparing for submissions, or refining a script for production, our script consulting service offers thoughtful, practical feedback from experienced dramaturgs who understand the craft of playwriting.

We work with writers at all stages, from early-career playwrights to those with more developed projects. Because every script needs something different, we offer a range of services to suit different goals, budgets, and stages of development.

Members receive 20% off all services except for table readings. Join here. 

Our Services

Zoom Feedback Session + Written Notes 

Our most in-depth and interactive service.

This option is ideal if you want detailed feedback and the chance to discuss your script in real time. You’ll receive a careful reading of your play, a 90-minute Zoom session with a dramaturg, and a set of written follow-up notes so you can reflect on the feedback afterwards and plan your next draft.

Prices
One-act play (up to approx. 40 minutes / 5,500 words): £119 members / £149 non-members
Full-length play (up to approx. 90 minutes / 12,500 words): £134 members / £168 non-members

Scripts over 100 pages may incur an additional reading fee. We’ll always confirm this with you before proceeding.

Written Report

Detailed written feedback you can work through in your own time.

If you’d prefer to receive feedback in writing rather than discuss it live, this option gives you a clear, practical report designed to support your redraft. Your dramaturg will identify strengths, areas for development, and key next steps.

Prices
One-act play (up to approx. 40 minutes / 5,500 words): £67 members / £84 non-members
Full-length play (up to approx. 90 minutes / 12,500 words): £86 members / £108 non-members

Scripts over 100 pages may incur an additional reading fee, which will always be discussed with you in advance.

First 10 Pages + Premise Report

Perfect for submissions, applications, and early-stage projects.

The opening of your play matters. If you’re preparing to submit to theatres, competitions, or development opportunities, this service focuses on making those first pages as strong as possible. Alongside your extract, you’ll send a one-page outline of the play so we can also respond to the strength and clarity of the idea as a whole.

Price: £49 members / £61 non-members

Table Readings (Zoom or in-person)

Hear your play out loud and discover what’s working on the page.

If your script is already well developed, a table read can be an invaluable next step. We’ll arrange a 2–3 hour Zoom session in which professional actors read your play, facilitated by a member of our script consulting team. The session includes a feedback discussion afterwards, and you’ll receive a recording so you can revisit the reading in your own time.

We can also organise an in-person reading in Central London. Costs are usually similar to a Zoom reading, plus rehearsal room hire. 

Price: £199 members / £249 non-members
Plus £60 per actor (paid directly to the actors)

We can also facilitate rehearsed readings or an R&D of your play. Please get in touch to discuss your project and we’ll talk you through the options.

Creative Development

Looking for more flexible, ongoing support?

If none of the standard packages quite fit what you need, or you’d like to work with a dramaturg over a longer period, we also offer bespoke creative development sessions.

Rates: £49 per hour for members / £61 per hour for non-members

Sessions are agreed in advance and paid upfront. Contact us to discuss the kind of support you’re looking for.

Full Year of Dramaturgy

Long-term support for writers making a serious commitment to a project.

This package is designed for playwrights who want sustained guidance across a full year. You’ll receive monthly meetings, ongoing dramaturgical support, tailored exercises, and extensive reading across your project. It’s a chance to work closely with your own dedicated dramaturg and build real momentum over time.

Price: £999 members / £1299 non-members

Producing Consultancy Sessions

Need support with the practical side of getting work made?

We also offer producing consultancy sessions with freelance producer Alex Critoph. These one-hour sessions can support you with self-producing and related professional development.

Areas of support may include:

• ACE applications under £30k

• developing a synopsis or pitch pack

• applying for development schemes

• writing a press release

• planning marketing or social media

Price: £58 members / £73 non-members
