Bite-sized plays

White Room Theatre is running a competition to discover the best five new 10-minute plays. Winners will be performed in the Brighton Fringe Festival in May 2008.

The pieces should require few set/props, and pieces that are edgy, funny and/or poignant, highly engaging, accessible, and even eccentric are welcomed.

White Room Theatre is also seeking scripts that have an educational / entertaining slant on organisational life for their organisational development work.

The deadline for emailed entries is the end of February. In March or April the company will offer performed readings in Brighton of the best 20 applicants. A judging panel of professional experts will evaluate and provide feedback to the writers, and nominate the winners. Check the web site for details on the application process.

Do you mean that the work will be performed as part of the Brighton Festival Fringe, as it is not programmed in the main Brighton Festival for 2008?

The information I received didn't specify that it was the Fringe festival, but that must be the case in light of your contribution.
