The Traverse Theatre is seeking bold, brilliant and innovative new plays from writers across Scotland, the UK and Ireland.
Open Script Submissions introduce us to writers who are new to us, as well as encouraging submissions from those with whom we have an existing relationship. We want to know what you have to say about the world today - where we are going, what consumes us, what matters. Provoke us, entice us, move us and give us a story that could only be told on the Traverse stages.
We cannot accept:
- plays that have already been produced elsewhere.
- adaptations, poems, novels, short stories, or television, film or radio scripts.
- musicals, historical dramas or bio-plays.
- short plays (scripts must be over 30 minutes in length).
- more than one play per writer per year.
- redrafts of previously submitted work, even if retitled.
- plays by writers based outside the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
Full details of how to apply are available here or contact writing@traverse.co.uk
