First Time Writers Initiative

Running from the beginning the First Time Writers Initiative was set up by the AllthePigs and selects individuals who have never had a play professionally produced before and takes them on a 16-week intensive course of workshops, readings and rehearsals, eventually creating a 30-minute play, and pairing them up with an up-and-coming director.

Each short play then runs alongside a published production as selected by AllthePigs.

From 2010 to 2012 each writer had two performances of their play. In 2013, each writer had a full week of performances.

"This process appears to be an effective one, judging by the high quality of dialogue and characterisation" [10]
