Bonnington Playwrights
We write both collaboratively for group projects and as individuals on our own plays. Our work is developed through rehearsed readings and weekend workshops with professional actors, directors and dramaturges.
Members of the group have had their work performed in various venues around the UK and US.

Bonnington Playwrights
We aim to write for performance with professional directors, actors, designers and theatres on projects which may be originated by individual members or the group as a whole. Our goals are:
- High quality
- A true collaboration between ourselves as writers and other theatre professionals.
- A variety of new work reflecting our individual enthusiasms and collective skills.
- A distinctive exploration of aspects of theatre history which may be fading from memory but which deserve to be re-examined as living elements in dramatic and social history.
- An inclusive approach, working across disciplines and generational boundaries, harnessing what is new to what remains valuable in theatrical tradition.
