Description
Caromoon Productions are seeking passionate and new playwrights to submit short, 20-minute plays for an exciting evening of theatre centred around the evolving relationship of two women in their late twenties, Julia and Alex.
4 Playwrights, 2 Actors, 1 Relationship.
Caromoon Productions are creating an evening of theatre based on one relationship written by four playwrights. To submit, you must write a short play one of the below sections. You are able to write on more than one, but please note only one play per writer will be selected. Your work will join three other selected plays, each telling a pivotal moment in their journey together to form one play.
Choose One of the Following Sections to Write On:
- The First Date - The sparks, the nerves, the beginning of something new.
- An Intimate Moment - A scene capturing vulnerability, closeness, and connection.
- A Rift in the Relationship - Conflict, tension, and the challenges that test their bond.
- The End of the Relationship - The final chapter, where things unravel or conclude.
Submission Guidelines:
- Play Length: 20 minutes max.
- Theme: Must explore a selected moment in the relationship between Julia and Alex.
- Characters: Plays must only have Julia and Alex, as there are only two actors.
- Format: One-act play, set (two chairs and one table) and minimal prop requirements preferred.
What We're Looking For:
- New playwrights who are looking to have their work showcased, maybe for the first time?
- Unique voices and fresh perspectives on modern relationships.
- Thought-provoking, emotional, and/or humorous takes on love, connection, and conflict.
Perks:
- The selected plays will be performed as part of a four-performance show at a London fringe theatre in 2025.
- Each chosen playwright will receive a fee of £100 and one free ticket to a performance of their choice.
- Writers will have the opportunity to join one rehearsal session to see their play in action and collaborate with the creative team.
To apply, please write a short play using the criteria set out in the advert.
Once complete, email your play and a CV/Bio of your writing experience to date. If you don't have any writing experience this is fine, just tell us about yourself and what you want to achieve with your writing.
