HighTide Reveal Mentors for HighTide Writer’s Group

HighTide To Present Five New Productions at Edinburgh, Aldeburgh and Walthamstow

HighTide

HighTide today announces the six mentors for the new HighTide Writer’s Group. The mentors are Alice Birch, Jez Butterworth, Lolita Chakrabarti, Dennis Kelly, Anoushka Lucas and Winsome Pinnock.

Each of the six mentors will support one of the inaugural cohort of playwrights for HighTide Writer’s Group. The mentors will advise the East of England playwrights on how to develop their scripts and help strategise their future steps as they embark on a paid year-long development programme facilitated by leading playwrights Juliet Gilkes Romero and Tim Price.

The six writers are currently working towards a presentation of new work at HighTide Rising. The company’s annual one-day play reading festival will this year take place in Ipswich on 23 November at the Eastern Angles Centre and will include rehearsed readings, workshops and events.

       

Alice Birch is supporting Clare Currie, Jez Butterworth is supporting Rosa Torr, Lolita Chakrabarti is supporting Esohe Uwadiae, Dennis Kelly is supporting Marie Cooper, Anoushka Lucas is supporting Ted Marriott and Winsome Pinnock is supporting Anoop Singh.

Clare Slater, Artistic Director of HighTide said today, “One of the greatest gifts you can give a playwright is the ear of another, exceptional playwright.  We asked our HighTide Writer’s Group to dream of their ideal mentor – and I was delighted to find that all of their first choices said “yes”.  This speaks to the generosity of these leading writers.  I’m beyond grateful to them for their time and to Tim and Juliet who are leading a world-class, year-long programme for this year’s group.  Come and see what they’re working on at HighTide Rising in Ipswich on 23 November.”
