Play for May 2026
Starts Monday 4th May 2026
Play for May is a month‑long burst of creative momentum designed to help playwrights stop overthinking, shake off procrastination and leap into making something new. Across May, we’re creating a space where you can work quickly, instinctively and with support.
The month is shaped by:
- Four short pre‑recorded workshops led by playwright Davey Anderson, released every Monday in May.
- Weekly Friday writing sprints, hosted online.
- A final in-person event on Friday 29 May.
Each workshop includes a practical exercise you can take away and work on during the week: something to get you writing, making, experimenting and moving forward. The sessions will be available to view throughout May before being taken down at the end of the month.
Access
Play for May will take place online.
We strive to make all our events as accessible as possible. If there is any way we can improve accessibility for you or if you have any questions, please email us at access@playwrightsstudio.co.uk.
