Synopsis:

This November, The Necessary Stage is delighted to unveil the fruits of the labour of our new playwrights at Playwrights' Cove 2026: From Page to Stage!

Over four intimate invite-only sessions, the works-in-progress of our four selected literary artists will be read to mark the final leg of this year's programme and celebrates the transformation of their written works into scripts.

Through a series of workshops, clinics and consultations with The Necessary Stage's Artistic Director and acclaimed playwright Haresh Sharma, our artists—Ahmad Syarif, Daryl Qilin Yam, Noonherd, and Rachelyn Gordon—have been thoroughly engaged in sessions, focused on character-development, dialogue, structure, and narrative, and are now ready to take their writings from page to stage.

Directed and read by seasoned theatre practitioners, this series of play readings will span across four days and delve into topics on the themes of friendship, family, and the tumultuous nature of navigating life's many changes.

Post-show dialogues facilitated by Haresh Sharma will take place after every reading.
