As part of its commitment to supporting emerging practitioners, the Blue Elephant announces that it is now receiving entries to its 2015 Playwriting Competition.
What you get: The Blue Elephant will mount rehearsed readings of the winning entries this summer.
What to submit: We are seeking new plays which have not been performed before. We prefer plays that embrace theatricality but are happy to receive naturalistic ones too. Plays should require no more than six actors and there are two categories:
- Plays of between 45 and 90 minutes (there will be one winning play)
- Plays of between 10 and 30 minutes (there will be two winning plays)
Playwrights may enter up to two plays, which should be emailed to submissions@blueelephanttheatre.co.uk.
Deadline: 6 February 2015
If a play has been (only) read previously, is it still an eligible submission?
Hi Derick, you’d have to contact the submissions team at the Blue Elephant directly to confirm this, I’m afraid we’re only sharing the opportunity, not running it, so we can’t answer questions about eligibility. Good luck!
