About us
We are the local branch of Script Yorkshire, an organisation which exists to promote new writing for stage, screen, TV and radio in Yorkshire. SY arranges regular workshops with experienced writers and similar activities. We work with York Settlement Community Players to put our work on its feet. We began with a production of six linked short plays entitled 'Round The Walls' at City Screen Basement Bar as part of the York Literature festival and we've been running regular 'Script Factor' events at YTR studio for nearly two years now.

Script Factor
At the Script Factor, audiences hear short script extracts, presented by York Settlement Community Players and vote for their favourite at the end of the evening! The script is briefly introduced by the writer and there is opportunity for questions and discussion as well as a drink and a chat at the interval – we aim for an informal and friendly atmosphere.

Script Yorkshire’s York Branch ran the All Winners' Final of the Script Factor Event held at York Theatre Royal Studio. This year's took place on May 4th and was won by Helen Shay. Susan Stern, Voice Coach and playwright compered the event and the picture shows the award of the trophy to Nicky, Helen's representative. We also run Yorkscript events at City Screen Basement Bar - get in touch for details!
