on the hunt for new plays
having trouble getting your play read?
not famous enough for the big guns?
a bit too edgy for the rest?
or just never sent that big idea to anyone?
then fear not. Dirty Protest is here.
If you have a play that needs a little help standing up, and would like to workshop it with professional actors, Dirty Protest can help. We're looking for a full-length play, to produce a staged reading of, along the lines of our last full length staged reading - The Bells of Shoreditch.
We plan to offer 2-3 days workshopping the play before rehearsing, and staging in front of a paying audience. We are looking for a play with more potential than polish, that has minimal staging requirements, with a realistic cast size, and around 1 hour in length.
As ever we operate on a shoe-string.
Send your plays to info@dirtyprotesttheatre.co.uk by 20 June

About Me
- Dirty Protest
- Back in summer 2007, a small band of people were bored of stuffy theatre with expensive tickets, plays that didn't speak to them and uncomfortable seats. So they decided to do something about it. Tim Price, Claire Hill, Mared Swain and Ellie Carter gave birth to Dirty Protest. Ever since it has been drawing attention to itself, shaking up the arts world along the way. If you don't believe us The Guardian called Dirty Protest "cracking" and The Big Issue "spellbinding". The premise has always been simple. First - Put established AND wannabe writers on the same platform, give them a tight deadline, the same topic and challenge them to create exciting, new work. Second - Then take it to the pubs and the clubs. Not ones to stop evolving we have held a Welsh language night, produced three new plays for Latitute Festival, development productions of full length plays. And now we are challenging writers to curate some of our nights picking their own playwrights and theme.
