Submit your play at HighTide Festival, Suffolk, UK

Post by Team »

If all the world's a stage, who's writing the script? Well, you are.



The guys  at HighTide Festival are giving you talented bunch of scribblers the chance to have your play produced at their brilliant theatre festival in Suffolk in May 2015.



The two winners of this brief will each receive a research and development week in 2014 with Steven Atkinson, HighTide Artistic Director, culminating in a readthrough of their play at IdeasTap.



The HighTide Literary Department exists to discover and nurture exciting new plays by exceptional emerging writers and has quickly become an engine room for new writing in the UK.



They currently receive around 1,500 plays a year, all of which are read and considered for production at the annual HighTide Festival in Suffolk.



If you're a writer and would like to send your script to HighTide, then the Literary Department is your first port of call. They are particularly looking for bold plays that engage with the world we live in, and share contemporary experience through playful theatricality. HighTide are looking for full-length new plays, not previously produced, and will happily accept scripts in English from writers around the world.



All you need to do is read the terms and conditions (see below), check that your script is eligible and then upload it in response to the brief.



HighTide will only consider full-length plays, conceived for live performance. For further information on The HighTide Literary department and what they're looking for, read How to submit a play to HighTide and How to write a HighTide play.

Note: If you are considering applying, free online advice will be available at the ‘Submit a Play to HighTide 2015 Application Advice Online Forum' on IdeasTap from 1pm to 2pm on 11 September 2013.

HighTide will not be accepting submissions once this brief has closed. Another brief will open in September 2014 for unsolicited submissions for HighTide 2016 Festival.
