In addition to the performance of Come To Where I’m From, Paines Plough will be running two workshops on the 30th October- one on playwriting and one on setting up and running a company: 

Paines Plough is a home for writers - the playwright is at the heart of everything we do. When we're not producing plays, we're doing our best to help playwrights get better at writing them. If you write, come and see what we can do for you.

WORKSHOP TWO: If It Didn't Exist, You'd Have To Invent It 30/10/2010 12 midday - 1.30pm

Paines Plough was dreamt up by its founders over a pint. The name comes from the beer they were drinking (Paines) and the pub they were drinking in (Plough). Thirty-five years later: “Paines Plough's nomadic theatre company has racked up so many stars that browsing its press release is a bit like looking into deep space” (METRO).  If you’re interested in setting up and running your own company, we can help you force your ideas into existence. 

To book a place on either workshop or to find out more information just email jo.combes@royalexchange.co.uk and put PAINES PLOUGH in the subject header of your email. 

 

WRITERS EXCHANGE

We run a free monthly group for local writers called WRITERS EXCHANGE that meets at the theatre to discuss work, hear from guest practitioners and see shows. WRITERS EXCHANGE provides local writers with support, encouragement, advice and most importantly for writers who can be solitary, company! 

We are currently working on a collective writing project called HOMETOWN GLORY which will be inspired by our experiences of living and working in Manchester.
