WRITING OPPORTUNITY for Script Writers

We’re looking for incredible short plays for two events in early 2014.

The Shows

Rich Mix | On February 21st we return to Rich Mix with our regular night of new writing: Descent Shorts.

Vault Festival | On 1st March we’re taking over 4 spaces in the Vault tunnels to bring you 4 brand new pieces performed in promenade.

What we’re looking for

Rich Mix | 5 original shorts, 5 – 20 mins in length
Vault Festival | 4 new pieces, 15 mins in length

Scripts can be about absolutely anything at all. As long as they’re 100% original and have never been performed before, we want to read them!

We may choose to programme a piece for both Rich Mix and Vault Festival, if it would work well in both spaces and fit with the rest of the programming. This is dependent on the submissions we receive. Please state in your email whether you would like to be considered for Rich Mix, Vault or both.

How to apply
Firstly, please read our submission guidelines to make sure your script is right for us.
If it is, send it to scripts@descenttheatre.co.uk
Please let us know in the email where you heard about this opportunity – that’s all we need!

Deadline: Submissions close on 17th November

Please note: Unfortunately we cannot consider any scripts that are sent after the deadline or that do not fully comply with our submission guidelines.

We look forward to reading your scripts!
