01
Our Country's Good
Breaking down a published play for rehearsal.
A colour-coded script: each character highlighted in their own colour, with margin notes on what they want, what they're hiding and how a line should land. It turns a page of dialogue into choices actors can play.
02
Peelop
Devising an original sitcom in a writers' room.
Peelop was built from scratch by the group. The scene 3 board maps the beats, running jokes and callbacks, with one note at the top that sums up the direction: more real, less sitcom.
