New writing
Through collaboration with the Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club and other university drama societies, we aim to support and nurture student writers and help them to develop their work toward production.
As well as producing full productions of new work on our mainstage and in our sister studio venue, the Corpus Playroom, we also provide a range of other resources for student writers in the area.
Papercuts is our rehearsed reading programme.
We believe that the best way to help writers and their work develop is to get the script on its feet and spoken.
If a script demonstrates potential and we would like to help the writer develop it further, we can offer a public rehearsed reading of the work as part of our Papercuts programme.
Papercuts is produced in the Larkum Studio at the ADC Theatre, and is intended to let the writer see their work given a simple staging.
We provide basic production support in the form of a space and stock furniture if required.
