Open Submissions Festival
A gateway for the best new work
Every year, we read thousands of new plays. The promise that every submission is considered and responded to is central to our mission. To re-energise this promise, we’ve launched our new Open Submissions Festivals, championing the best new plays our teams are reading – and offering audiences a first look at the future of our stages.
Twice a year, we’ll present a week-long festival of staged readings, powering our open submissions programme as a gateway to new opportunities – including those in contention for programming at the Court. With permission from (and payment for) submitted writers, we’ll bring together a professional team to give them the best platform possible.
The great news is, for writers, there’s no need for another application process. Just by submitting a play via our open submissions portal, it will immediately be considered for festivals, future programming and other opportunities.
Full details, dates and line-ups will be announced throughout the year.
