–          Scripts can include one to four actors, with minimum props, lighting and sound

–          All submissions must be previously unperformed, unpublished and original work

The plays will be sorted through an initial selection process to ensure entry criteria is met.  They will then go to a panel of judges for a short list of 20 and then the final 10 winners are announced in autumn 2020. The Chesil Theatre will then appoint directors for each play and will hold auditions and casting for performance at the theatre in February 2021.
