Write the Play!

Ironclad was created in 2020 as a place for writers, artists and theatre-makers to find each other, learn about the business of making art, and develop their skills.Founded by producer and writer couple Michelle Allen and Andrew Allen, after running the Cast Iron Theatre company for over seven years, Ironclad’s mission is to support, signpost and provide spaces where people can build community, write, make, discuss and learn.We know how hard it is to make connections, network and learn about how to get paid for what you do.We want to support all people and are especially interested in making sure that our work reaches people who currently have low incomes, or come from low income backgrounds.We’re also neurodivergent and know that being creative and neurodivergent adds additional complexities and barriers to networking, making and putting your work into the world.We have a mix of free events and some have a cost - which we try to keep as low as possible.Members of our community - Creative Cauldron (£12 per month) get tons of our events for free - or at a 20% discount plus our own Discord server to chat to friends and peers on.
