The Clare McIntyre Bursary
Supporting early-career writers programmed on our stages
Awarded by the Royal Court’s artistic team, it can be used to offer additional support for artists facing hardship or to fund additional time developing their work towards production on our stages, and the critical opportunities this can unlock.
The Bursary is named in honour of playwright Clare McIntyre. Clare’s plays at the Royal Court included Low Level Panic (1988) winning the Samuel Beckett Theatre Award; My Heart’s a Suitcase (1990) winning the Evening Standard and London Drama Critics awards for Most Promising Playwright; and The Thickness of Skin (1996). We are grateful to Clare’s family and other donors for their support in maintaining this bursary for the next generation of writers.
Previous recipients include Iman Qureshi, Joel Tan and Emteaz Hussain.
