First Draft an artistic venture set up by Actor/Producer Laura Harling and Director Matthew Parker to give writers and performers the opportunity to present original works and fresh adaptations in the comfortable surrounding’s of ‘The Horse’ Waterloo.

We Welcome submissions of new writing, fresh adaptations or a great idea that is looking to be experimented with and developed.



It is a great way to see your work on its feet at its early stages and allows yourself and an audience to give feedback so you can think about any future developments.
