The Mavens is a female-centric, mentored playwright development programme facilitated by the dlr Mill Theatre in partnership with the Writers Guild of Ireland. The project’s facilitator and dramaturg is Pamela McQueen. The Mavens Programme is supported by the Arts Council through the Arts Grant fund. The programme connects established female playwrights with mid-career playwrights. This is an essential connection as mid-career playwrights negotiate the moment when, historically, women artists experience decline between emerging and established careers. It also allows the playwrights to critically reflect on their own female character voices and any internalised self-censorship acquired through working in patriarchal hegemonies.
