In the light of it all, I'm in the process of moving somewhere a bit nicer. Come find me ...

So excited to be at Austin Film Festival as a semifinalist this year!

[Sarah Grochala @SarahGrochala]

Went to see the amazing @sedickenson's epic and brilliant play @ExeterNorthcott yesterday. Fills me with joy to see a dramaturg who's helped so many craft wonderful pieces of theatre to come into her own as a writer! #thecommotiontime

In the interests of fairness my other favourite was Łukasz Twarkowski's 'The Employees' which is coming to the Southbank Centre in Jan 2025

I'm on the board of @ActorsTouringCo so could definitely be accused of bias, but this was genuinely one of my two favourite things that I saw at the theatre in 2023.

So if it's coming near you, go!

Absolutely thrilled to announce that my TV Drama Pilot 'Vindication' has made it to the semi-finals of @austinfilmfest

[Sarah Grochala @SarahGrochala]

@g_ting Lisa Goldman, Michelene Wandor, Janet Nepris, Val Taylor. Jemma Kennedy has a new one out. Clare Bayley co-wrote the Playwright's Companion. I guess my book is a little bit of playwriting guide - though not really for beginners.

[Sarah Grochala @SarahGrochala]

@SW_Tronix @MrJohnDorney remembers them too!

[Sarah Grochala @SarahGrochala]

So excited that my fourth Doctor episode is out! Tom Baker was my Doctor so an absolute thrill to get to write for him.

Can't wait to hear how it all turned out ...

🚨 OUT NOW 🚨 The Dominators rule this system... QUARKS DESTROY! https://t.co/VM6H6kpyt1

[Sarah Grochala @SarahGrochala]

After several years of not making it past the first 10 page shift for bbcwritersroom, was fully expecting another rejection ...

Absolutely thrilled to have made it to the final 3%!

[Sarah Grochala @SarahGrochala]

Loving the icy artwork for my fourth Doctor adventure. It's been a long wait but it's nearly finally here!

[Sarah Grochala @SarahGrochala]

Thanks so much for the all the lovely messages! It's been a whirlwind 36 hours so it's going to take me a while to catch up with it all ...

But I'm so thrilled that my play 'Intelligence' has won @WomensPlayPrize

[Sarah Grochala @SarahGrochala]
