As you’ll see, I’m useless at uploading pix and arranging on a page… but you’ll get the general idea… There’s about 50 pix on the Facebook page of Salisbury Arts Centre Scriptwriters.

In the interest of nutshells, and because I’m going on holiday next week (yippee) here’s the autumn from a squirrel’s perspective:
Emerging Writers, She Writes and Lymington Playwrights – writers invited to have their first scene performed in a Scratch Night at Salisbury Playhouse on 4 November.
The Lymington group is embryonic 
and welcomes new and aspiring playwrights. Its links with Salisbury Playhouse mean that participants are invited to take part in Playhouse events along with She Writes and the Emerging group.
In response to the success of She Writes on Wednesday mornings, new this term is an Evening She Writes session on Thursdays from 7pm.
Follow links for more info on any of the above or email me angelastreet@tiscali.co.uk

Marlborough playwright, John Yates reports: “OUR SPACE is breaking out. Last year saw a reading at Theatre Bristol‘s Saturday Shorts and performances in Papercut Theatre‘s XY project curated by Melissa Dunne at Theatre503 with Bruce Adams directing. The piece has now been taken up by Ripped Script Theatre Company‘s Laura Jasper. Laura will be directing OUR SPACE for LOST Theatre‘s One Act Festival (showing on Thursday 24th May). She’s then taking it to the Exeter Ignite Festival (3-9 June). Meanwhile Melissa is including OUR SPACE in XY’s Edinburgh Fringe show at Pleasance.” John is a member of the Emerging Writers Group at Salisbury Playhouse.

Had a fun session with Mind the Gap group at Salisbury Playhouse this morning. Thanks guys for all the laughs: the man in the ginger suit on the Park and Ride, Jeff’s leather thong, and the massive fruit cake.

I’ve had a choatic couple of weeks (in a good way) with loads happening on the writing scene: the Emerging Doo Dah Writers had their first meeting in Salisbury Playhouse on Saturday afternoon thanks to an invite from Mark Powell. I was beside myself. It’s so good to have a place to meet and I’m looking forward to meeting Gareth Machin, the new AD. Exciting times.
If there are any playwrights in Salisbury and surrounding areas reading this who’d like to join the group, just drop me an email with a brief biog including where you are at with your writing. The Emerging Group is for writers with playwriting experience – I do run workshops for beginners too and most of the Emerging Group have come through the workshops over the last two years.
Talking of workshops, we had a visit from Sarah Dickenson, senior reader at the Soho, who led a challenging workshop last week and made us all write stuff. Imagine.
Meanwhile, I’m delighted to report that Doo Dah David Haworth’s play I Heard An Angel Singing has been selected for a reading at Theatre 503 on 7th November – a great opportunity to have his work read by professional actors in London.
More Doo Dah successes:
Salisbury Playhouse new season brochure launched itself onto the world this week with an electrifying cover photo by Tim Kidner – Tim takes the pix for Scriptwriters’ Doo Dah too, so we’re kinda excited about that.
