WACtheatre want 10 new five-minute monologues about what it means to live with, or be affected by mental illness - from whatever point of view you like.
10 five-minute monologues on mental illness.
We'll pick the best, cast, direct, rehearse, film and present them as part of our contribution to the Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival in October 2011.
Monologues must be able to be performed by one actor and should be up to five minutes in length. We're looking for work on the general theme of mental illness, from any point of view - carer, patient, relative, etc. In addition, monologues can also be inspired by this year's Festival themes, which are: memory and dreams.
Please read the submission guidelines and the example monologue.
NB - we are only looking for submissions from writers who live in the north east of Scotland. Selected writers must be available for script development meetings in Aberdeen.
Deadline for submissions is 30 June 2011. For further details, contact colin@wactheatre.com
