It’s that time of year again, when The Scripts the Thing put out a call for submissions as part of the annual festival held in Dorchester. It’s a celebration of all types of scripts for performance and gives the opportunity to test the water with new work. In previous years Maria Pruden, Sarah Scally and I (collectively known as 3-She) have written and acted in our short plays. This year we’re working on a piece based on confusion that is caused when technical language is used. I don’t want to give too much away as the script is still in development. We need to get the whole draft polished by the deadline on 6 July.
If you’re interested in writing for a live audience, this opportunity is well worth joining. The festival is going to be held over the weekend of 10 and 11 October 2026. Accepted scripts will be staged at venues up and down Dorchester’s main street and there will also be workshops and talks to attend.
Why not give it a go?
