Malvern Theatre Company & Peridot Theatre Company are running a short play competition.
I find out more from Andrew Ferguson, president of Malvern Theatre Company
Malvern & Peridot Theatre Companies’ Short Play Competition 2020 – ‘Happy Endings’
We’re delighted to announce this short play competition in collaboration with Peridot Theatre Company. We’re looking for short play scripts that meet the following criteria:
1. The theme of the project is ‘Happy Endings’ – the script can have intrigue, humour, surprise ending etc., but must have a genuinely positive outcome.
2. Up to 12 minutes performance time
3. Between 2 and 4 characters. No monologues.
4. Minimal use of props, to suit online recording format.
5. To be submitted by Friday October 30th as an attachment in standard WORD format – emailed to malverntheatrecompany@gmail.com
A small panel of script readers comprising representatives from both Companies will choose the 10 most suitable plays for Zoom recording, which meet the above guidelines.
Successful plays will be recorded by mid-December for release on YouTube in late December. Peridot and Malvern will organise Directors, and cast the plays. The Directors will be responsible for rehearsing, prior to recording, which will be facilitated by Malvern Theatre Company.
