Directing for Stage to Page with Playwrights’ Studio Scotland
Playwright’s Studio Scotland is a company that fosters the development of new and emerging writers. Every month they host an event called Stage to Page which provides the opportunity for playwrights to submit a selection of their work for the chance to have it staged by professional actors and directors. It’s an exciting forum for new work to become realized.
Playwright Ros Borland and myself
I was brought on board as a Director and had a team of actors to work with on a piece called “Gold Dust” by Ros Borland. The play was a fascinating story chronicling the trials and tribulations of the coal miners during the strike in a small town called Dalmellington. Ros has a background in producing and writing for television and film. As a result, her work has a great cinematic quality to it. By working together, we generated a performance that brought the story to fruition.
The whole event was a great success and a fantastic way of showcasing talented artmakers in a true collaborative environment.
