About BST Script Reports:

Broken Silence Theatre’s Script Reports is a service that provides dramaturgical feedback and guidance to playwrights. As new writing experts, we’re passionate about supporting playwrights and have created a range of Script Report services to help you achieve your writing goals. 

 

Using our extensive experience and knowledge of the theatre industry, our affordable script reports can help you during the drafting process or when submitting to theatres, playwriting competitions or programmers. 

Report length, turnaround time and suitability: 

BST Script Reports are typically 2-3 pages in length and will be sent to you within 3 weeks of us receiving your script. All Script Reports are compiled by an experienced member of our script reading team and are thoughtful, constructive and full of encouragement.

Writer testimonials:

  • Lucy Dobree, writer for Off-West End award-nominated Voices From Home:

​

"Broken Silence Theatre's Script Report service was just what I was looking for. Encouraging but thought provoking feedback that really made me feel like my play had been read carefully and thoroughly. It's excellent value and the report has already helped me take the piece to the next level. I'd thoroughly recommend Broken Silence for anyone looking for coverage."

​

  • James McDermott, writer of the acclaimed ‘Time and Tide’ at the Park Theatre:

​

“Broken Silence Theatre provided me with detailed feedback on my play ‘Fifty Years’, which helped me re-see the play and find the story I wanted to write behind the story I'd written. They’ve helped me develop my craft and build my profile as a playwright and have supported many other writers to grow and connect.”

​

  • Rachel Tookey, winner of Methuen Drama/Marlowe Society ‘Other Prize’ for ‘Bromley Bedlam Bethlehem’:

 

“The support and feedback I’ve received from Broken Silence Theatre meant I could unabashedly call myself a writer and gave me the confidence to be bigger and bolder with my own writing. It helped take the pressure off, and get me back to a space where I could be living and enjoying my writing.”
