Bristol Old Vic’s Literary Department is on the hunt for new and previously unproduced Plays and Musicals from writers living and working in the South West of England.

Guidelines- they are looking for…

• Submissions must be from writers living and working in the South West.  They define this as writers based in the counties of Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Hampshire and Somerset, and the unitary authorities of Bath & North East Somerset, Bournemouth, Bristol, Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly, Isle of Wight, North Somerset, Plymouth, Poole, Portsmouth, South Gloucestershire, Southampton, Swindon, Torbay and Wiltshire.
• An original script that has not been previously produced.  Plays or musicals that have emerged from a developmental stage (e.g. rehearsed readings or workshops) will be accepted.
• Plays that are complete (not only begun, or sample scenes).
• Plays you’ve taken some time to edit. If your play is much over 90 pages, it may benefit from editing.
• Musicals that are complete, along with demo recordings of at least 3 songs. OR Musicals that are not complete but are submitted in the form of a Full Synopsis of the plot along with demo recordings of at least 3 songs. Demos do not need to be polished recordings; rough demos are fine
