The Royal Court Theatre, Associate Playwright
The Royal Court Theatre has an exciting and unique opportunity for someone to join the team as an Associate Playwright.
This role will join a new group of Associate Playwrights, working alongside the leadership team at the Royal Court to place theatre writers at the heart of planning and decision-making across all our work. In particular, over this first year with a new artistic director in post, there is the ambition to redefine our approach, public articulation of our work, and the role we play in the playwrighting ecology more broadly.
This job is an invitation to come and be part of that thinking and to shape the Royal Court’s future: the writers’ theatre led by writers.
The successful candidate will have:
Experience, involvement and ongoing activity as a working playwright
Demonstrable commitment to building and contributing to the best working culture for artists and staff, including advancing anti-racism and anti-oppression either in the theatre sector or more widely
Track record for supporting and developing the work of fellow writers and/or the wider theatre ecology, those this could be in any form or context.
A passion for the mission of the Royal Court and desire to contribute to its future
