Mercury Theatre – Script Submissions

The Mercury Theatre is dedicated to finding, supporting, and producing the next generation of playwrights based in the East of England.

We currently do not have a full-time literary manager, so consequently cannot offer feedback and are only open for submissions across two periods in a year.

These opportunities are:

January 2nd – 31st
and
August 1st – 31st

There are no specifics in terms of what we are looking for within a play. We’d like to see the first 30 pages, a short email letting us know where you are based, your experience so far as a writer and if you have any access needs.

We are particularly keen to hear from writers who are underrepresented in our industry, whether this be by class, disability, ethnicity, gender or sexuality.

Our script support service will not be able to review adaptations/musicals , plays that have already been produced or incomplete scripts or proposals . There will be other opportunities in the year to pitch these proposals separately.

Deadline: 31 January 2025
