Mel – late 30s, Female, Black British Ethan – late 30s, Male, White, Gay Travis – early 50s, Male, Asian British, Gay Maddie – late 30s, Female, Asian British

Script Sessions are an invite only session, with supportive creatives reading a writers new script and offering feedback on the play. If you’d like to join the room, please email scriptsessions@masterclass.org.uk with ‘SS - (your name)’ as the subject title. We are particularly interested in hearing from more global majority actors and creatives for these sessions.

Script Sessions are a relatively small time commitment and a chance to meet fellow Masterclass members (and potential future collaborators!) to hear new work aloud and to be part of its development. They are also an opportunity to stretch your own creative muscles in a safe and non-judgmental space. With this in mind, Script Sessions are not paid opportunities.
