Former Artistic Director of The Bush Theatre, Lynette Linton joins us for a one-day intensive focused on directing new plays.
This is a chance to observe and explore Lynette’s methodology. She will work on a script from her time at the Bush and equip participants with a tool kit for working with actors and writers alike on work that has not yet been staged. The day will culminate with a Q&A.
While designed with directors in mind, this intensive is open to all creatives passionate about staging new writing in any capacity. Participants will be actively involved in the session.
This intensive day will take place at Theatre503’s new space – the 503Studio in Nine Elms.
Date: Saturday 7 March 2026
Time: 10am – 6pm
Running time of workshop: 8 hours (with 1 hour lunch break) – delivered in-person at The 503Studio. Maximum class sizes are 16. A portion of spaces have been reserved for Share the Drama places.
