Ep8 - In Conversation With Francesca Peschier - Dramaturgy

The WFTS Podcast

We're very lucky, for this episode, to have had the opportunity to interview the Head of New Works at Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse.

Francesca Peschier is the Head of New Works at Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse and she shares her insights into the art of dramaturgy and how it can help draw out theme, character, and structure in playwriting. We explore the idea that a dramaturg is an early outside eye that can be invaluable to a playwright of any experience and we discuss how she has helped me as a playwright during the development of my latest play.

Francesca explains how the relationship between writer and dramaturg often works, as well as the relationship with the director when she goes into the rehearsal room.
