MARK PRITCHARD // DRAMATURG & THEATRE-MAKER
New Play Development
​
As New Work Manager at Malthouse Theatre, the development of new plays is a key part of my practice. I'm personally drawn to projects that offer an unexpected perspective on the world, on ourselves, and the cultural moment. My approach is all about supporting each writer's distinctive way of seeing the world, and drawing on my understanding of theatre to help them make the work they want to make.
Writers I've worked with as dramaturg include: Ra Chapman, Amelia Chandos Evans, Dan Giovannoni, John Harvey, Kim Ho, Lally Katz, Jessica Knight, Michele Lee, Nakkiah Lui, Chanella Macri, Vidya Rajan, Natesha Somasundaram, Aran Thangaratnam, Wang Chong, and Keziah Warner.
As a freelance dramaturg, I'm available for ad hoc consultation and script reports for playwrights needing independent professional advice or feedback on their projects.
This slideshow gives a brief snapshot of some recent scripts I've worked on as dramaturg, from concept through to production.
