why we charge what we do
There's not a standard rate of pay for dramaturgy in England.
Because of that, we've based our rate on the Equity / Stage Directors UK agreement for the exceptional minimum fee for freelance directors in the commercial sector:
weekly rate
£508.00
one week
÷ 5 days
one day
÷ 7 hours
hourly rate
= £14.51
the time we need
6 hours
(reading, notes, travel, meeting)
gives a grand total of...
£87.09, which we've rounded down to
£85.00
We lower our rate for subsequent drafts because we’re already familiar with the play, making it easier to note. Plus we’ll have started a journey with you, and think that should count for something.
Whilst we recommend face-to-face meetings wherever possible, please note that online meetings receive a £10 discount.
