The Jewish Literary Foundation has launched its new Jewish Playwrights Programme, supporting emerging playwrights through the process of developing a full-length play, and helping to foster a strong presence of Jewish culture within the UK theatre industry.

Generously supported by the Shoresh Charitable Trust, the six-month programme offers mentorship, industry advancement, and focused script development. Welcoming emerging Jewish writers or writers whose work engages with Jewish culture, its goal is to empower and platform new voices, while  developing Jewish stories for UK stages.
