Theatre negotiators of the WBBB (Writers’ Guild of Great Britain) have agreed ‘above-inflation increases on minimum fees for playwrights’: rates for a full-length play commissioned by either the Royal Court, National Theatre or Royal Shakespeare Company rise to a minimum of £12,308.
Independent Theatre Council (ITC) minimum rates for a full-length play (70 minutes or over) rise to £8,500. The minimum rate of £5,660 applies for a play between 30 and 69 minutes, and £2,830 for a play under 30 minutes.
