Excellent piece from @hollywilliams.bsky.social @exeuntmagazine.bsky.social on how underpaid we are as script readers.
Do you read me? In our latest free-to-all piece, editor Holly Williams (@hollywilliams.bsky.social) investigates the working conditions of script readers. An unseen but critical part of the theatre industry, why are these freelancers often working for less than minimum wage? And why do it at all?
Underpaid and overlooked: what it’s really like to be a script reader
Freelance readers form an invisible but vital workforce across the industry – so why are they so badly paid?
