Member competition open for submissions

Hey, writers! Our spring competition entitled SECRETS AND LIES (via Zoom) is open for submissions!

The rules are as follows:

Scripts should be limited to between 1000-1500 words (word count to be marked on script, please) including spoken stage directions.

Monologues will not be accepted. Entries to be in Word format rather than pdf.

Scripts to include two to four characters (of either sex) with a list of their names. The author's name must not appear.

Authors may suggest casting, but the final choice will be at the discretion of casting secretary, Lynne O'Sullivan.

Authors may have ONE read-through with the cast, and give brief notes. Authors are responsible for arranging this themselves via their own Zoom facility.

The cast are asked not to reveal the names of authors, so that as far as possible these are not known.

Competition entry deadline is Monday 16 February. 

Entries to be submitted to Lynne O'Sullivan at email address pplaywrights@gmail.com

Only the first ten entries received will be accepted, but we may be able to arrange readings of surplus scripts on another occasion.

The script submitted will be the final one. No amendment of scripts will be permitted. 

Following the competition, scores must be emailed to Lynne by Thursday 5 March. Results to be announced Friday 6 March.

Authors are not permitted to vote for their own entry.

(As competition organiser, Lynne does not score the plays).

Looking forward to receiving your submissions for what promises to be a fun evening!
