Collective Authorship

Join BÉZNA Theatre and three global majority writers for the exclusive first public sharing of a new, collectively written play in response to the theme of “reversals”.  

This project is based on the belief that the collective, the community, holds a wealth of knowledge. When individuals with diverse experiences, skills, and perspectives come together, they can produce exceptionally rich work. When solidarity unites artists around a common cause, extraordinary creations can emerge. This is a pilot programme designed to test that theory.

The writers are working together across two weeks; one in January 2026 and one in February 2026 - ahead of this sharing in March 2026. 

Writers will be announced in early 2026, with full cast and team announced late Feb 2026 (in response to the writing in the room)
