ORANGE TREE WRITERS' COLLECTIVE

Orange Tree Theatre have announced their Writers’ Collective cohort for 2025-2026 - Hassan Abdulrazzak, Azan Ahmed, Martha Watson Allpress, Catherine Dyson, Lucy Phelps, and me!

For over a decade, the Orange Tree Writers’ Collective has brought together a group of playwrights to spend a year at the OT to share practice, develop new ideas, and become engaged in the work of their theatre throughout the year.

The programme supports mid-career playwrights who have progressed beyond the early stages of their careers and are looking to take the next step. It offers professional development and a peer support network to help writers at a similar stage grow, connect, and thrive.

Very excited and honoured to be a part of this year’s cohort.
