Young Playwright Competition
Are you a budding playwright aged between 14-18 living in the Didcot area ?
In a bid to draw out young playwrights in the area, Award winning Didcot Phoenix
Drama Group is launching a competition to find an original play. The winner of the
competition will have a chance to work with the group to polish the final play and
perform at a drama festival in spring 2019.
After the closing date of the 30th November 2018 the committee will choose the best 3
plays that will be performed as rehearsed readings by the group in front of an audience.
After the readings there will be a vote on the overall winner.
The winner will be allocated a mentor to work with in order to polish the script (if
needed) and assist the group in the casting and production of the finished article. This
will then be performed in front of an invited audience and entered in a festival in the
Oxfordshire Drama Network Festival in Abingdon 2019
