Over the last ten years we have developed a number of plays, some have gone on to be produced elsewhere and some still remain unfinished. These include; Hot Chicks by Rebecca Jade Hammond (produced by Grand Ambition & Sherman Theatre 2025), Toy Mic Trev by Rebecca Jade Hammond & Hannah Noone, Lung Water by Jacob Hodgkinson. We also delivered an online reading of Maryland by Lucy Kirkwood in response to the Sarah Everard case in 2020.

Chippy Lane's Podcast
Chippy Lane's Podcast is a celebration of Welsh and Wales-based creatives, produced by Chippy Lane Productions Ltd. Each episode shines a spotlight on talented writers, actors, and artists — nominated by their very own contemporaries — exploring the stories, inspirations, and experiences that shape their work.
Recorded between 2018 and 2020, Series 1, hosted by Katie Elin-Salt and Jordan Bernarde, features intimate interviews with some of Wales' most exciting creative voices. Series 2 — The PICTURES / LLUNIAU PROJECT — takes a unique approach, inviting writers to share a personal photograph and the story behind it, brought to life by professional actors and directors.
Supported by organisations including The Carne Trust and in association with National Theatre Wales and the Royal Court Theatre, Chippy Lane's Podcast is proudly championing Welsh talent on a national stage.
The podcast was co-platformed by Wales Arts Review and broadcast on S4C’s Heno.
“This podcast is informative and interesting whilst also being funny and genuine. It is the perfect casual insight into Welsh creativity in Wales and beyond.” — Quench / Cardiff Student Media

“Male writers are thought of as ‘writers' first and then ‘men'. As for female writers, they are first ‘female' and only then ‘writers.'"

The Welsh Female Writers Group continues today as a mailing list community, open to anyone who is female or non-binary and wants to connect with a network of like-minded Welsh writers. To join, simply...
Founded in 2016 by Cardiff-born actor, writer and Artistic Director Rebecca Jade Hammond, Chippy Lane Productions was created to build a community of Welsh and Wales-based artists telling authentic Welsh stories. Named after Cardiff's beloved Caroline Street — affectionately known as "Chippy Lane" — the company was born out of a desire to bring Welsh voices to stages beyond Wales.
Wales has produced some extraordinary female playwrights making their mark on the world stage — among them Katie Elin-Salt, Emily White, Siân Owen, Rachel Trezise, Catherine Chandler, Mari Izzard, Rebecca Jade Hammond, Catherine Tregenna, Manon Steffan Ros, Branwen Davies, Gillian Clarke, Hanan Issa, and Abi Morgan. Yet despite this wealth of talent, Welsh women remain significantly underrepresented in the industry.
In 2018, Rebecca established the Welsh Female Writers (WFW) Group in direct response to this imbalance. From 2018 to 2021, the group met monthly — both in person and online — for four-hour sessions offering a fun, friendly and supportive space for established and emerging female writers to workshop scenes, share work in progress, discuss writing by female authors, and develop their craft together. During that time, over 70 women took part, with writers going on to work with companies including Dirty Protest, the National Theatre of Wales, and the BBC.
