Beth Westbrook has been selected as one of the Traverse Theatre’s 2022 Breakthrough Writers in Residence.
Along with five other writers, she has received bespoke mentoring and dramaturgical support across 6 months, working on a full length play which will receive a reading in November this year.
The programme is a re-set of the Traverse’s open submissions initiative, and seeks to identify the most exciting voices across the UK and Ireland.
