Optik Theatre: Script Room Call Out

CALL OUT FOR JUNE 2025 FESTIVAL SHOW

This latest Script Room is being specially programmed for Richmond’s high-profile Arts and Ideas Festival and so is an exciting opportunity for writers. The Festival theme is ‘to explore and interrogate our relationship to nature’.  If you have a script that you think will work well in our programme don’t worry too much about a literal link to the theme: our priority, as in all our Script Room projects, is to present original and entertaining theatre with human stories at the centre.

As a guide the play lengths that work best for are normally half length (30-40 mins) or one act (15 – 20 minutes). Fees correspond to the length of the script and are £400 and £200 respectively. We are happy with any cast size up to a maximum of 4: budget realities mean we cannot consider scripts with more than 4 in the cast.

We always invite writers to see their work and for this project we aim to have one Q+A session during the run which we hope writers will be happy to participate in.

Send your script to Barry Edwards: mail@barryedwards.net with a brief biog. Deadline March 31.  Looking forward to reading your work!

Deadline: 31 March 2025
