The deadline has been extended to Thursday December 31, 2015 to submit entries for the TheatreFest15 play-writing competition.
The TheatreFest15 New Work Award invites writers to submit a one-act play on slavery, the theme shaping the project’s 2015 programme.
The competition is open to writers, be they established or emerging, not only in the British Isles but also anywhere in the world.
The winning entry will be produced in 2016 for one night at the Talisman Theatre in Kenilworth, Warwickshire and be staged at the Gaiety Theatre, Douglas, in the Isle of Man as part of that year’s TheatreFest programme.
TheatreFest15 is a five-year project encouraging new work for the theatre and is a partnership between the Isle of Man Arts Council and the National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA).
NODA chief executive Tony Gibbs said: ‘The impressively high quality of entries we’ve received so far has prompted us to extend the deadline to the end of this year. In this way we hope to give even more writers the opportunity to be part of this exciting inaugural venture that’s at the heart of NODA’s “Inspiring Theatre” mission.’
