IN CONVERSATION WITH: Sam Gosrani and Charlotte Delima Charlotte and Sam played Indira and Mohandas in Make Good: The Post Office Scandal, both making their debuts as performers in a musical. The musical, developed over three years, was written by Jeanie O’Hare (book), Jim Fortune (music and lyrics), and Maimuna Memon (additional music), and was developed with affected sub-postmasters.

Pentabus Writer Residency: £12k Bursary for Emerging Writers Pentabus Theatre Company, one of the UK’s quiet powerhouses of new writing and rural excellence, has opened applications for its 2026 Jerwood Writer in Residence scheme. The opportunity, offering a £12,000 bursary for an emerging playwright to develop new work at Pentabus' home base in Ludlow, is as much a cultural proposition as it is a professional one: a chance not just to write, but to recalibrate what writing can be when it takes root outside a metropolis.

Pentabus is now accepting applications for the 2026 Jerwood Writer in Residence. £12K bursary, time to create, and a chance to join their renowned Young Writers programme.
