Papercut Theatre is offering two writers an exciting opportunity to have their work performed as part of the short play event ‘XY’ Theatre 503, June 10-11th.
The remit is simple, write a short play no more than fifteen minutes in length on any subject, any genre. The only limitation is that you cannot specify a gender for any of your characters.
Two of the best entries will be selected. These writers will have their work mentored and developed by Papercut Theatre’s experienced dramaturgical team and have their work staged at the award-winning Theatre 503. Please note – winning entries will have their work staged twice at the event by two different directors in potentially contrasting styles.
The short plays will be read anonymously. To help facilitate this please include all your personal details in your cover email, and take your name off the play itself.
The deadline is 5pm the 25th May.
To submit please email a copy of your script to literary@papercuttheatre.co.uk
New plays are important. Creating them is important. This is why we support new writers with a view to developing them as artists rather than expecting them to deliver a product. We are committed to enhancing and developing the process by which plays are created, directed and produced. We actively interrogate the writer/director relationship and value work at all stages of the creative process not just fully realised productions.
