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, noting, 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’ll have started a collaborative journey with you, and think that should count for something.
