The Space is seeking playwrights for a brand-new playwriting competition, Script6. Six up-and-coming playwrights will take part in a six month programme which will include workshops and script development, culminating in writing a brand-new full length play. The final scripts will be given rehearsed readings by professional actors in a three-day Script6 Festival. A special panel will select one winning script which will then be developed and given a run at the Space.
This opportunity is open to writers who have already had a minimum of:
- Two professional productions running for a minimum of three weeks OR three professional productions running for a minimum of two weeks.
How to apply: Visit the website for full details of course dates and then email isabel@space.org.uk to request an application pack. Submissions should take the form of a completed pack and a copy of a full-length play that you have written. Both should be sent via return email as .doc or .pdf documents.
Deadline: All completed applications must be received no later than 5pm on Monday 28th October 2013.
