Script Reading 

I have read and provided hundreds of script reports for a number of theatres, organisations and competitions including:

The Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, The RSC (37 Plays), Royal Exchange, Theatre Uncut, Royal & Derngate, Young Vic

I have directed rehearsed readings at Royal Exchange, Wellcome Collection, New Diorama, Old Red Lion, Lincoln Arts Centre and NonSuch Studios.

You can read my interview with The Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting about developing and directing a script I first read as part of the competition here

Andy Routledge is a longstanding reader of the Bruntwood Prize - reading significant numbers of scripts in the last three rounds (2017, 2019 and 2022) of the Prize. Additionally, Andy has also taken on producing script reports for the top 100 Longlist writers on their submitted scripts- taking into account the feedback and questions from many previous readers. This is a particularly sensitive role, and Andy is a very trusted reader for both his reliability in working to tight deadlines, and the great rigor and care he takes in responding to the needs of both the Prize and the writers.

Would you like me to read your script? Are you interested in collaborating with me as a dramaturg or director of new writing?

Please drop me an email and I’d be very happy to discuss this with you.
