The Jack Studio is pleased to announce that playwright Carol Vine has won a place on the prestigious BBC Writersroom 10 programme.
BBC Writersroom 10 is a ‘partnership programme for writers and theatres – marking the importance of theatre as the first home for many brilliant writers in the UK, and investing in writers and new theatre writing at an early stage.’
Carol’s play Borderland was one of the winning plays chosen for Write Now 3, the Jack’s annual new writing festival, and was directed by our Artistic Director Kate Bannister. Carol was one of several writers nominated for a place by the theatre.
The programme will last for one year and the 10 playwrights will convene as a group. Each writer will also have a BBC mentor to broaden their scriptwriting horizons and bring a fresh perspective to their work.
This is a great opportunity for Carol and emphasises The Jack’s commitment to local playwrights through our annual new writing festival and ongoing writing programmes.
