About Writing
It sounds like the most obvious statement you'll ever read, but without new writing we wouldn't be the company that we are. You only have to look at the works of our Creative Director John Godber to realise what an integral role new writing has played in Hull Truck's ongoing success since his arrival in 1984.
New writing, as John himself observes, is the lifeblood of Hull Truck and we are committed to discovering and nurturing new talent as well as producing brand new plays by some of the country's most exciting playwrights. These next few pages will hopefully give you a better insight into the sorts of work that we do to encourage and inspire new writing.
