THE STAGE DOOR READINGS
are the showcase event for scripts developed through MWT’s PAGE TO STAGE dramaturgical program.
In 2023 these Readings were held on the weekend of 18th – 19th November,
and once again in the wonderful space that is Theatre Works.
The Stage Door Readings provided an opportunity for the Page to Stage 2023 playwrights to see their new scripts brought to life by actors. This free event was open to the public, and we received strong and appreciative audiences.
The following Playwrights and plays were launched.
