Sam Greenwood

West Midlander in London working as a script reader and dramaturg for a mix of companies and competitions alongside working for Labour in Parliament. I am looking for new writing of all kinds to help workshop and develop for performance. A particular fan of horror, political theatre and plays which experiment with language, structure and the inclusion of other kinds of performance.
