Thank you for your interest in joining the Paines Plough team

Paines Plough is one of the UK’s leading theatre companies, led by Joint Artistic
Directors/CEOs, Charlotte Bennett and Katie Posner.

We exist to nurture writers at all stages of their career, and produce
groundbreaking new plays to inspire audiences across the UK. Each year, tens of
thousands of audience members witness a Paines Plough show or take part in one of
our events.

Founded in 1974, Paines Plough has debuted plays from writers including Sarah Kane,
Dennis Kelly, James Graham, Abi Morgan, Zia Ahmed, Duncan Macmillan and Kae
Tempest. We’re proud to be one of the most celebrated new writing theatre
companies in the country; committed to discovering unheard voices, and striving to
ensure our development of writers is as extensive as our touring productions.

Paines Plough are an agent for change in the theatre industry. At a time of perceived
‘risk’ in touring new plays, we continue to passionately advocate for new writing to
enrich the lives of audiences everywhere, and we prioritise touring our shows outside
of London. Each year, we tour our shows to over 30,000 people and have worked
with 400 writers through our nationwide writer development programme: Tour the
Writer.

We co-founded the Women’s Prize for Playwriting with Ellie Keel in 2019, and
continue to co-produce the prize. The prize is one of our flagship projects, which
actively campaigns for more female and non-binary playwrights to have their stories
told on stages large and small across the UK. The first three winners of the prize,
Amy Trigg (Reasons You Should(n’t) Love Me), Ahlam (You Bury Me) and Karis Kelly
(Consumed), have all had their plays produced by Paines Plough, completing hugely
successful tours.

“Without Paines Plough many a British writer
would have given up / the company has always
been an essential part of the UK’s new writing
ecology and its nationwide place in that has
only grown in recent years.”
Lyn Gardner, Stage Door

discovering and
nurturing some of
our most important
writers, reaching
audiences and
communities who are
underrepresented
and doing it all with
passion, rigour and
inclusivity, there’s no
company quite like it.”

Every Brilliant Thing)

team.

Environmentally aware: We are proactive in our practice in line with the current
climate change crisis. Our work Paines Plough tours new plays that are socially
relevant and that speak to the present moment and develop writers from across the

new production starring Daniel Radcliffe.

As part of our mission to nurture writers across the country, we established Tour
the Writer, a multi-year project in partnership with seven organisations across the
country, to find and develop a nationwide network of writers. With 400 participants
since the beginning of the project, we are now mentoring 14 writers (2 from each
location) and developing their scripts for script-in-hand performances at the Tour
the Writer festival in March 2026.
