White Open Spaces had a long development period. In November 2005, 9 writers, 2 actors, 2 directors and representatives from BBC Radion Drama, The Arvon Centre and from the Arts Council in the Midlands came together to workshop ideas and meet peeople in Shropshire. These included writers Sonia Hughes and Yasmin Whittaker-Khan, and actors Mo Sesay and Kesty Morrison.
The writers produced short plays. These were then developed and script-in-hand readings of the plays took place at the Upstix festival in Suffolk on 30 and 31 March 2006. Seven plays then became the scripts that make up White Open Spaces. After rehearsals and a preview performance, the show went to Edinbugh and then onto London and Sweden. BBC Radio 4 broadcast the work as in the Woman's Hour drama slot in February 2007.
And finally, the production went on a village hall tour later that year.
