This open call is an opportunity for us to connect with writers and find exciting ideas that could benefit from paid development and support in our Studio and Main House. Open to writers at all stages in their career who are currently living in the UK
The Lyric especially encourages writers who live and work in West London and from people who are currently underrepresented in the UK theatre industry including people from ethnically diverse backgrounds, who are d/Deaf or disabled, who are non-binary, LGBTQIA+, who have caring responsibilities.
We can only accept one script per writer. Scripts must be full-length – at least one hour in duration (as a guide, this is 40+ pages). We are open to all forms of theatre including musicals, adaptations and translations.
The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre is committed to being vital to, and representative of, our local community and to being a major force in London and UK theatre. We develop and nurture the next generation of talent, and provide opportunities for young people from all backgrounds to discover the power of creativity.
