An annual subscription to the Creative Resources Hub is priced at £25. At present the Hub offers an Introduction To Playwriting course, consisting of several hours of teaching footage, including interviews with leading practitioners, as well as extensive downloadable handouts and supplementary exercises. £25 per estimated user is thus well below the cost price of making the course, as we want it to be as accessible as possible – but as an unsubsidised charity, there is a limit to how much we can afford to lose. Every penny will go back into our work. If this cost is a barrier for you, please contact us on info@papatango.co.uk and we will find a way to help you access it.
