Laurence Cook

I love writing that takes audiences from the everyday to the unexpected. 

I'm a dramaturg, writer, and collaborator for stage projects. From 'proper theatre' shows to solo pieces, comedy, autobiographical, dance, and clowning.

I mainly work in devised settings ('what if we did this?') but have been an associate on new writing, physical theatre, Early Modern, and community projects. 
 
Currently...

...I'm dramaturg on Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead with Complicité. 

Am creating an original fantasy play for young audiences at JES. It's a hero story about why we don't need heroes, we need people who can work together.

With the extraordinary this egg, I co-created a show about sex and pleasure for family audiences. It never reached public audiences because... well, you can buy me a drink if you want that story. 

Also with this egg... I helped develop motherearth, a show about ecological disaster and mums.
 
Back in the mists of time (2012), I did the Royal Court Young Writers' Programme and now I read scripts for theatres and Playwright's Studio Scotland.
