Pintsized Plays is one of the leading international competition for short plays of up to 10 minutes. Winning plays are performed in selected pubs in Pembrokeshire and the six winning entries and four runners up then go on to be performed  Script Slam at Theatr Gwaun in Fishguard where the audience get to vote for their favourite script – and the winner will walk away with the coveted Pint-pot (with a half-pint for the runner up). On top of that all ten plays will be considered for publication

There’s is an entry fee of £5.50 or equivalent for each play submitted.

Guidelines

• The competition is open to anyone aged 18 and over.
• Scripts should be capable of being staged in a pub with a running time of between 5 and 10 minutes.
• Scripts should require two or three characters only with minimal additional props.
• Scripts will be judged on originality, quality, and suitability for the setting.

• The author’s name must not appear on the cover page or anywhere within the script.
