Script Reading 

Andy has read for multiple theatres, organisations and competitions, including The Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, The RSC (37 Plays), Royal Exchange, Theatre Uncut, Royal & Derngate and Young Vic.

“Andy Routledge is a longstanding reader of the Bruntwood Prize - reading significant numbers of scripts since 2017. Additionally, Andy has also taken on producing script reports for the top 100 Longlist writers on their submitted scripts- taking into account the feedback and questions from many previous readers. This is a particularly sensitive role, and Andy is a very trusted reader for both his reliability in working to tight deadlines, and the great rigor and care he takes in responding to the needs of both the Prize and the writers.”
