Sussex Playwrights

Chair: Philippa Hammond
Secretary: Thomas Everchild

Honorary President: William Nicholson
Honorary Vice President: Judy Upton

Sussex Playwrights began in 1935 as a gathering of professional working playwrights who’d had work produced in the region and on the West End stage.
Pausing only for World War 2 and lockdown, the club has continued ever since, meeting the first Sunday of every month at the New Venture Theatre bar, Brighton.
Over nine decades the club has evolved, welcoming writing for radio, film, TV and on-line.
Our core aim is to promote and celebrate new writing in the region.

At our regular meetings we host:

• Guest speakers
• Brighton and Edinburgh Fringe previews
• The First Five Pages exercise with a professional TV screenwriter
• Writing prompts
• Writing competitions
• Works in progress – extracts with discussions and peer group feedback
• Rehearsed readings with professional actors
• Christmas and summer parties
• And we also run Sussex Playwrights Reviews

All are welcome to attend a meeting at £5, to include drinks.
Full Membership at £30 a year is available.
