This workshop will explore how we playwrights can positively affect the ecology of a rehearsal room and what that can do for our own writing process. A chance to discuss and explore ways of working that help develop a sustainable practice as writers but also what impact we can have on how theatre is made.

 

Morgan is a playwright and screenwriter. Morgan was commissioned by The Globe to write Emilia which became a hit show in summer 2018 before transferring to the West End in 2019, winning three Olivier awards.

Her commission Typical Girls, a play set in a women’s prison featuring the music of The Slits, ran at the Sheffield Crucible in Autumn 2021. Her new play Mum also recently ran at Plymouth Theatre Royal and Soho Theatre.
