What writers are saying about us...

  • "If you‘re after some dramaturgy on your new musical, I can‘t recommend Chalk Dramaturgy enough. Incredibly attentive, nuanced & insightful. I sent them a crazy script and the feedback was brilliant."

    Geraint Owen, award-winning composer, writer & musical director

  • "If anyone is writing a musical and finds themselves in a dramaturgical rut, get in touch with Chalk Dramaturgy. I used their service and their feedback was so constructive, nuanced, thoughtful and packed with clarity. Redrafting now seems a lot less of a daunting task!"

    David Fallon, composer, lyricist & musical director

  • I was delighted with the insightful and constructive feedback I received from Chalk Dramaturgy. The structure was also excellent, combining an annotated script with a thorough overview, including suggestions for improvement. I now have new ideas to explore, which has revitalised me to begin working on a redraft.

    Wendy Gill, author & librettist

  • The feedback I got from Chalk Dramaturgy for my musical was incredibly professional, thorough, detailed, and very much on point. They took the time to look at my musical from many angles and came up with some thought-provoking questions that I'll need to answer.
