Writing for Theatre


I found http://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/opportunity/theatre_trail_writers.shtmlon the BBC Writers' Room page. I haven't dropped by in a while and it's been revamped.

Theatre Trail Writers Competition

The Arundel Festival Theatre Trail, conceived and presented by Drip Action Theatre Company, is now in its ninth year. It performs at the end of August, on each of the Festival’s eight days, eight short plays at eight different venues all over Arundel – last year, for example, in a living room, a kitchen, an art gallery, and a pub.

Writers are invited to submit plays for next year's Trail.

Plays should be 30 - 40 minutes long, suitable for day-time performance with practicable cast and props.

Submit your entries to:

Drip Action Theatre Trail 2009
1 Norfolk House
28 High Street
Arundel
West Sussex
BN18 9AB

Deadline: 31 January 2009

One play only per entrant, in hard copy (not email). Please enclose an SAE if you'd like your play returned.

The Drip Theatre committee will select the plays that will be performed, with the best submitted play receiving the Joy Goun award of £200 at the Theatre Trail launch in May 2009.

Each successful playwright will receive a £150 writer's fee.
