We are looking for 5-15 mins of new writing that is considered by the writer to be still in development. We match writers with professional directors and help with casting. Each piece will then be rehearsed to performance standard and will be preformed on May the 11th at The Peckham Pelican. Our events consistently attract audiences of over 150. Past Etch scratch night audiences have included creative staff from The RSC, The Royal Court and The Young Vic. Past Etch scratch night creatives have included talent such as actor Mike Noble, director Debbie Hanna and award winning playwrights Oliver Emanuel and Stef Smith.

Squint Theatre Company Artistic director Andrew Whyment calls Etch “a furnace for new writing”

Send 5-15 mins of writing to submissions@etchtheatre.com before midnight April 17th 2015. We look forward to reading your work!
