Titchfield Festival Theatre is delighted to announce a new playwright competition with a total prize package worth £10,000.
Supporting new plays and playwrights is extremely important to everyone at our theatre. That is why we have launched this new contest by providing financial incentives and a platform for playwrights to see their play performed in front of a live audience.
The Winner will receive a cash prize of £1000 and see their play performed in the Acorn Theatre for one week. The package includes support from a TFT Director and a cast of actors.
The criteria is simple.
Your play must be a BRAND NEW FULL LENGTH PLAY and never performed before. Plays of all genres are welcome, with a maximum length of two hours performance time.
Submissions close 30th November 2021, with our expert panel shortlisting the finalists in December 2021.
All plays will be read anonymously by a panel of readers appointed by TFT. This panel consists of a diverse mix of Patrons, volunteers, language and literature professionals, all from a wide age range and geographical area). This panel will then create a final shortlist. A panel of readers consisting of artistic directors, professional actors, directors and playwrights will meet to make the final decision.
One winner will be picked from 10 shortlisted finalists and announced in January 2022.
