To Everyone Who Entered…
The standard of entries was unbelievably high, and the decisions were incredibly difficult. The fact that your script wasn’t chosen does not mean it wasn’t brilliant—only that it didn’t quite fit what we were looking for on this occasion.
We will be running more competitions, searching for different styles, bold voices, and new perspectives. Whatever your story, keep telling it—we would love to see your work in the future.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Your creativity is what makes theatre so powerful, and we can’t wait to see what you create next.
