Dramaturgy Workshop: Reading, Rethinking, and Red Flags

Thursday 25 September 2025 | 4pm-8pm | 38 Mayton Street, London

Step into the world of dramaturgy with award-winning Playwright and Dramaturg Somebody Jones. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll dive into the essentials of dramaturgy, drawing from Jones’ experience with iconic theatres like The Globe and Paines Plough, plus her role in reading for top awards like the Alfred Fagon Award, Verity Bargate Award, and Woven Voices Prize.

Jones will guide you through the process of reading new works and tackling tricky material. She’ll also spill the tea on how she connects with dramaturgy clients and what it’s like working in the field.

Whether you’re a newbie dramaturg, a seasoned pro looking for a refresher, or someone eager to break into reading for awards or theatres, this workshop is for you! Come ready to learn, rethink, and build the skills that will level up your dramaturgical game.
