StageWrite is Bedford’s only New Writing Festival and they are currently receiving submissions for the next one which takes place in Bedford on 27th April 2025. The festival is aimed at new and emerging playwrights who would like the opportunity to see their work realised in front of a live audience and engage in a Q&A with the audience, director and writers. Previous plays have gone on to full production at Bedfringe and Reading Fringe Festival.
StageWrite is free to enter and is run on a voluntary basis by LifeBox Theatre Ltd and No Loss Productions in conjunction with The Place Bedford.
