Young Playwrights

Good theatre relies upon good writers.

These workshops give young writers a chance to develop their own plays with a professional writer.  This workshop is full at the moment. But we will be running others in the near future.

‘Play writing takes us away from this world’s reality and into another where we can forget ourselves and everything for a few hours. No other profession does that. I want the audience to think about issues that they would never have thought of if it wasn’t for my play’  Zephryn and Elom

Competition for Young Playwrights

The winners get to see their play on our stage. We are very interested in new plays by young people. Use what is around you as your inspiration; what you hear, see , experience and feel. Your play is truly a reflection of you, your hopes, concerns and life as you see it.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR NEW, SHORT PLAYS ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LIFE.

The rules: 
• You must be aged 13 – 21 years
• Live in East London
• The play should be no more than 15 sides of A4
• Send it in by end of January 2007
• Keep a copy for yourself
• Put your name, age, address and telephone number on the front page. You can write it with friends and enter as a group
