As part of their Arts Council Funded writer development programme Write Up!, Down Stage Write are on the lookout for 10-15 minute audio plays by playwrights based in Devon and Cornwall to produce this year.

They will also be hosted on our website and podcast.

All writers that apply will be added to the Down Stage Write mailing list and kept informed of future opportunities.
