Second Theatre Uncut Political Playwriting Award announced

History Through Drama Plays for Study Tips for Teachers
Theatre Uncut's award aims to find the next generation of political playwrights who wish to explore the big issues that affect our lives today. At a time where questioning the political fabric of society feels particularly important, Theatre Uncut is looking for brand new full-length plays for stage that examine the political in its widest sense - from the domestic to the global.

To encourage writers from as wide a demographic as possible, from all across the UK, to submit their plays Theatre Uncut have partnered with theatres in the UK’s 4 capital cities: the Young Vic in London, the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh, the Sherman Theatre in Cardiff and the Lyric Theatre in Belfast.

Submissions will open on 7 August and close on 7 October 2020. The award will be eligible for: writers based in the UK only; plays that have not yet received any kind of production; plays over 60 minutes long; writers who have had no more than two full professional productions of their work.
