Etch is a brand new monthly theatre night held at one of South London’s most thriving new bars and arts venues, The Peckham Pelican. Their aim is to provide a platform for new writing from emerging artists in need of an outlet to do what they love most and to explore, develop, share and discuss their work in front of a relaxed, ‘pay what you can’ audience.
As well as finding temporary collaborators who are interested in using the Etch events as a platform to try out their own ideas and work, long term collaboration is also key to their plans. They hope to find artists to work with regularly and who will be interested in working with us to develop Etch further into the future.
Etch launches August 11th 2014 and the first event will be in the form of a Scratch Night. We are currently collecting submissions from both finished and unfinished plays but always from pieces never performed in full before. We will provide suitable rehearsal space and the pieces will be directed and performed by professional directors and actors.
What to submit / How to apply: If you want to see your new/ half written/barely there ideas being performed or want to get your work out there and make new contacts then send a 5 – 20 min scene to submissions@etchtheatre.com
Deadline: 11 July 2014

I have created a large portfolio of plays of this caliber.
