Writ Large
- In 2008, BTC was commissioned by the Arts Council to carry out research into the effectiveness of their new writing policies over the previous decade, in the larger building-based theatre companies. Our report reveals that:
-
47% of the repertoire consists of work that involves new writing in some form
-
The box office performance of new plays was consistently in the 60-70% range, peaking at 68% in 2007-8
- 9 out of 10 tickets for new plays were for plays in main houses
- A quarter of all performances of new plays were in theatres seating 500 or more
Press coverage of the ‘Writ Large’ report includes:
- David Edgar on the report for the Writer’s Guild
- Lalayn Baluch on the report for The Stage
- David Edgar on the report for The Guardian
- Mark Lawson in The Guardian
