Middle Child Writers’ Group (Part One)

Middle Child, 69 Humber Street

Middle Child Writers’ Group (Part One)

The Middle Child Writers’ Group, led by renowned playwright Tom Wells, is an annual introduction to playwriting course with a track record of turning aspiring theatre makers into commissioned playwrights.  

These include Marc Graham, whose debut play Isabelle was the first show to open Middle Child’s new theatre on Humber Street, and Hannah Scorer, whose Fresh Ink 2024 play Can We Be Friends? is now under commission with Hull Truck Theatre.  

At this year’s Fresh Ink, we present sharings of the first scenes written by this year’s cohort, across two different groups.

Writers

The Misfortunes of Maurice by Kath Roe

Time by Georgina Garton

Off Road by Jonathan Wildman

Internal Weather Warning by Jade Creighton
