Box of Tricks is looking to find four early-career North West playwrights for the next cycle of our flagship talent development programme PlayBox in 2023.
Selected playwrights will be paid £1000 each to take part in a year-long talent development attachment during which time they will write a brand new play with dramaturgical support from Box of Tricks, develop their piece during a workshop day with actors and receive a public rehearsed reading of their play.
Criteria
1. Writers must be aged 18 or over. There is no upper age limit.
2. Writers must be resident in the North West of England. If not currently resident, writers must be able to demonstrate strong links to the North West and a commitment to making work in the region.
3. Writers must be at the early stages of their playwriting career. In order to be eligible, you must not have had any professional full-length productions of your work (over 60 minutes) performed for more than four weeks by a professional cast.
To be considered:
- submit a sample of your writing
- a bit about why you’re applying
- a CV outlining your writing experience
Email your application to playmakers@boxoftrickstheatre.co.uk. Please read the submission criteria carefully before applying.
