Papertrail has been staging untold stories from underrepresented voices in Wales, and beyond for the last 10 years. Now, thanks to ACW’s Creative Steps, the company has begun an exciting new stage of development which sees Jonny Cotsen co-leading the company along with founding Artistic Director, Bridget Keehan. Their joint vision is to advance and experiment with the ways in which creative access is used in productions.

The company has a slate of new projects in the pipeline which include a touring production of A Visit by Siân Owen, a new play, Moses, Grobbelaar & Me, written by Jonny Cotsen and Bridget Keehan and a new training project in partnership with Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama and two new Associate Artist positons. To help the company deliver these projects Papertrail is now looking to recruit a freelance Creative Producer and a General Manager to join them in 2025.
