St George’s Players

Writers’ Group

A space for new scripts, collaborative feedback, and original storytelling for the South East London stage.

New Writing

Launched in 2016, our Writers’ Group is a vital part of what we do. It provides an environment for writers of all levels—from those with a first-page idea to experienced playwrights—to share and discuss their work.

A significant milestone for the group came in 2024 with the production of ‘SOAP’, written and directed by our Chair, Mark Harrington. It was the first time we had staged a full-length production written by one of our own members.

The group is now led by Tyler Hatwell, who took over the role at the end of 2025.

Collaborative Feedback

We meet to read through work-in-progress scripts and offer constructive, friendly suggestions. The goal is to help each other improve the craft in a low-pressure environment.

The Stage

While not every piece is destined for a full production, the group aims to develop work for Scratch Nights, radio plays, and potentially further full-length plays.

Get Involved

We are enthusiastic amateurs and welcome anyone with an interest in writing. No experience or finished masterpiece required.
