Tamsin Irwin is an award-winning British playwright. Since the pandemic she is regularly commissioned for independent projects as a director, writer or editor for theatre, audio and screen projects.

Outside her roles with building-based producing theatres (Salisbury Playhouse, Theatre 503 and Chickenshed Theatre) she has worked with new writing theatres. Presently she is a trustee of Activate, one of the Arts Council’s National Portfolio Organisations.

Tamsin’s own recent new work has included the theatre production, That Mad Little Planet Called Earth, that was performed as a staged reading at the internationally acclaimed new writing theatre, Theatre 503. This followed on from two successful performances at The British Interplanetary Society, as part of the UN’s World Space Week.

Tamsin’s plays have been on across London at new writing theatres that include the New Diorama, Old Red Lion Theatre, Theatre Technis and The Cockpit – as well as outside the capital. She has led drama workshops for the British Council and created a site-specific co-production at Glastonbury Abbey after working on numerous short-films funded by Southern Arts, London International Film School and independents in London and Hollywood.
