Theatre Local South Side Stories

www.southsidestory.co.uk – read every entry online at our dedicated South Side Stories website.

South London, it’s time to tell your story!

We are inviting anyone and everyone to pick up a pen – or laptop – and write a short play inspired by their very own South London.

Every submission will then decorate The Bussey Building/CLF Arts Cafe during Theatre Local (31 May – 28 July) and feature on our dedicated SOUTH SIDE STORY website www.southsidestory.co.uk. Plus, a selection of the South Side Stories will feature in an issue of the South London Press.

Your play can be about anything that interests you but must be inspired by somewhere, something, someone in South London. Just one more rule: it must be 133 words or fewer including stage directions and character descriptions (133 words = 133 Rye Lane!).

Download and read the Submission Guidelines document.

Please note, this is not a competition and 133 word plays will not be performed or produced by the Royal Court. Submissions will be displayed for reading throughout the building.

The 133 word plays on display will be frequently updated during Theatre Local, sitting alongside South Side Stories by Royal Court writers past and present.

Plays can be submitted to the Royal Court anytime from NOW until Friday 13 July 2012.
