An award supporting the next generation of playwrights.
We are delighted to have collaborated with Papatango on their annual Playwriting Award. Reimagined in 2021, at a time of unprecedented challenges, to support more artists and share new stories more accessibly than ever before, this year’s Prize received a phenomenal standard of entries.
Selected from 1,410 entries, the 3 winners are
Nkenna Akunna for Some Of Us Exist In The Future
Tom Powell for The Silence and The Noise
Tajinder Singh Hayer for Ghost Stories From An Old Country
By turns poignant, funny and captivating, these three plays represent the very best of new writing. These three brilliant audio plays will be available in completely free listening stations, captioned and with braille scripts, at theatres nationwide.
Tickets are free and the plays can either be accessed by QR code or via venue-owned tablets, which are available to pre-book. Copies of the scripts including braille translations will be available. Tour dates are below.
This partnership & project was supported by the Weston Culture Fund.
