Text Dramaturgy

Working with Soz Redland means receiving the promptest and most earnest feedback you could get from a dramaturg. Soz is always encouraging in relation to the work that it’s received and always reverts back with comments that help move forwards and upwards with the script. Redland’s attention to detail means you will no longer send a script less than polished to a theatre or an agent.

- Eleonora Fusco, Lettuce Dream Theatre Company

Soz was very incisive and detailed with their feedback. I felt that they had read and thought about my play thoroughly. They were able to highlight aspects of the script that I had not noticed and contextualised this by reminding me how an audience might receive this or how a director might think about it. I am so grateful that I was working with someone who was so receptive to what I had written and who was well-versed in giving feedback in a constructive and stimulating way.

Production Dramaturgy

Soz has been the Dramaturg for INQUISITIVE’s project, On Having No Head, since its inception, initially advising on the writing of the eponymous book’s adaptation, then on its staging for the Bloomsbury Theatre and subsequently during the devising of our physical theatre response to the book and its adaptation, for the Lincoln Performing Arts Centre.

Soz’s input was invaluable at each of these stages due to their unique ability to grasp at once the greater picture and its key strands and details and to help us keep these in sight along the way. Their sharp insight into what at times are revealed as different viewpoints is also highly valuable in clarifying communication and helping keep us on the same page during the theatre-making process.
