It’s central to our mission at Paines Plough to level up gender equality amongst writers in theatre. That’s why we’re so excited to be teaming up again with Ellie Keel to launch the Women’s Prize for Playwriting 2023.
Whatever age or experience you’re at, if you’re a female or non-binary writer, we want to read your work.
The submissions window opens on Monday 16th January at midday, and will close on Monday 17th April.
To find out more about how to submit your play, visit the Women’s Prize for Playwriting website: www.womensprizeforplaywriting.co.uk/how-to-enter/
