Artistic director of the Bristol Old Vic, Nancy Medina, has set out a five-year plan to support the development of new British writing.
Concluding her first year at the theatre, she announced the return of a literary department that will focus on supporting writers and script development.
Alongside this, she will establish a new initiative that will provide three five-year residencies for legacy, mid-career and early-career writers.
The schemes will provide a space for writers to build their craft, and also commissioning support.
This comes at a time when there are dwindling opportunities for developing playwrights, with funding cuts impacting opportunities dramatically.
