PowerPlay
write your play and see it on stage
For silent playwrights whose creativity has been dormant too long.
For creative adventurers ready to go beyond their predictable 9-5 comfort zone.
For awakened storytellers who know it is time to finally have their story witnessed.

take your play from blank page to stage
you do not need anyone else’s approval to
write your play and have it produced.
We believe playwriting is for everyone. Although it sometimes doesn’t feel that way. The world of theatre can feel like a “closed shop”; tricky to understand, hard to “break into” and even when you try to make inroads, those generic “unfortunately…” rejection emails after submitting your writing really hurt.
So, do something different. Let PowerPlay mentor you to take your play idea - at whatever stage it might be - to a full-length script, workshopped show, or a fully produced production on the London stage.
No gatekeepers, no industry jargon, no red tape, just you, your story and the PowerPlay team of professional actors, directors, dramaturgs and producers cheerleading and guiding you, every single step of the way.

Write a play & see it on stage:
your bespoke playwriting journey starts here.
PowerPlay is for anyone who wants to write a play. It is a creativity awakening service, designed to focus not only on the “output” of the finished script, but also on the discoveries you make along the way.
Writing is transformational. It helps your brain unlock parts of you that need a voice. PowerPlay understand this, which is why our dramaturgs not only support you to craft and finish your script with 1-1 mentoring, but we also create a safe space for you to explore the feelings that surround your story.
It’s not therapy, but we are not afraid to hold your hand as you explore the hidden parts of yourself through playwriting. Storytelling can be a vehicle to safely allow lesser-known parts of you, to be seen, through colourful characters, the wildest of settings and narratives to make the hair on the audiences forearms stand on end.
This is not an “off-the-shelf playwriting programme”; it's a once-in-a-lifetime personal growth experience, designed to reawaken your secret storyteller inside.
