Pint-sized Plays 2012
This year's writing competition is now open!
We're pleased to announce that the Pint-sized Plays 2012 writing competition is now open for entries. Now in its fifth year, Pint-sized plays has become established as a premier international competiton for short plays.
The competition is open to all writers aged 18 and over, and plays can be on any theme but must be suitable for performance in a pub. Each play should feature two or three characters and last between five and ten minutes. While they need not be actually set in a pub, they should be able to be staged using only such furniture as would be available and only with props able to be carried by the cast.
This year there will be six winning plays performed in pubs throughout Pembrokeshire, starting Tenby Festival week which this year is 24th and 25th September. The six winning plays, plus the four runners-up, will then be performed at the Script Slam in 4U at Theatr Gwaun, Fishguard, where the audience get to vote for their favourite script - and the winner gets to walk away with the coveted 'Pint-Pot' award - with a 'Half-Pint' award for the runner up!
On top of which, selected plays will be considered for possible performance in the Brighton and Edinburgh Fringe festivals and be recorded and broadcast as radio plays on an internet radio station: audiobookradio.net.
Scripts can be uploaded as pdf or word documents directly to the website and the entry form (at £5.50 per play) paid by PayPal or card. To enter, simply click the button below!
