New York's premier play festival, the Summer Play Festival (SPF), is partnering with London's Donmar Warehouse for the sixth year in a row on an international playwriting program for emerging writers. The Donmar Warehouse / SPF Residency Program brings together professional theatre makers from the highly acclaimed Donmar to work with a selected SPF playwright in a focused collaboration of classroom experiments, workshops, and rehearsals, culminating in a full reading of their play. The writer will spend two weeks in London immersed in the local theatre scene, and exchanging ideas and techniques with professional artists. The Donmar staff will guide and support the writer throughout their time in London, offering them a unique insight into the dynamics and complexities of the British theatre industry.
