What the Society Does
The SSP is a collective voice to champion new writing in Scottish theatre. We advocate for the strategic support and development of new work. We host readings,workshops, and panel discussions to celebrate and debate the role of playwriting in Scotland’s cultural landscape.
All of this is informed by our lively AGM where all members are invited to come and share their thoughts and ideas with the council; and for us to determine as a society where we should be focusing our efforts and energy.
We welcome into our membership any playwright working professionally in Scotland. It doesn't matter if you're at the start of your career or an experienced voice, if you work mainly in other forms or if you are a playwright through and through; if you write for the stage in Scotland and look to get paid for it, we want to hear from you.
Have a look at the events section to see what we've been up to, and the resources section for a more in detail look at the logistics and principals of the organisation.
