When we thought about creating a new set of free resources for writers at this time, we wanted to create an opportunity to reflect and bring compassion and understanding to the difficulties of being creative in the midst of such uncertainty and stress. It’s a difficult task to write at the best of times, but with the existentialist and practical pressures of the pandemic creativity can be even harder to find. 

We’ve asked some brilliant playwrights to reflect on coming back to writing, and finding creativity at this difficult time as part of our writer Toolkit Series 2
