To celebrate our 50th birthday, we are thrilled to announce the launch of Paines Plough’s Supporters Circle which will support our mission to discover, develop and empower writers across the UK.
Join our founding members, playwrights James Graham and Nick Payne, to support Paines Plough’s productions now and for the next 50 years.
Supporters will receive:
- Your name credited as a supporter on the Paines Plough website and in programmes at our shows across the country.
- Invitations to press nights to meet cast and creatives and watch the productions your donation makes possible
- A dedicated newsletter with Paines Plough news and personal updates from our writers
- Annual online event hosted by circle founders James Graham and Nick Payne, speaking to current Paines Plough commissioned writers
In our 50th anniversary year we want to recruit 50 patrons to support our work.
Supporters are asked to donate a minimum of £1,000 a year: you can donate monthly or annually.

“Paines Plough was utterly instrumental on my path to becoming a playwright. Not only in the opportunities it offered me early on but in the training, confidence, and the sense of community it gave me. It is the UK’s one true national new writing theatre company. Paines Plough, and Charlotte and Katie and their team, are to be applauded over their unrelenting passion and commitment for writers and writing.”
Paines Plough Patron, James Graham
“Whether it’s £25, £2,500 or £25,000, people's contributions are not only important, they’re vital. I ask for people to pledge as generously as they can. It’s one of the most thrilling things you can ever do. Theatre, new theatre, modern theatre that can touch people today, often starts here at Paines Plough. Just look at the long list of venerated actors and playwrights who’ve crossed the PP threshold. Why not come and join me? It could change your life too.”
Current Paines Plough supporter, Anne McMeehan Roberts
