Papatango

About Organisation

Papatango champion the next generation of brilliant playwrights, especially those who might otherwise lack pathways into theatre. Each year we provide free training, performances or publication to over 4000 people, award thousands of pounds in bursaries and seed funding, and help anyone, anywhere, make or share in exciting new theatre.


Our schools programme is designed to give students at Key Stages 3 and 4 a taste of both playwriting and professional theatre-making. Our 'Writing a One Act Play' workshops not only complement the curriculum but also encourage team-working, confidence and creative thinking, empowering young people to make their own work.

Because all you need is a story.
