New writing needed! Writers wanted for the 6th annual “Full Stack” new writing competition, our yearly invite to writers experienced and new to get out their keyboards and start a-tapping! We’re looking for short scripts for an anthology show in the summer.
KDC Theatre is a non-professional performance arts charity focused on development of artists (actors, directors, writers).
The theme
Identity is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone sees us differently, and we are or can become very different people depending on who we are with. We hear from the voices who know Noor well, those who don’t. The people in Noor’s life, and those who aren’t. Noor is a 30-something professional who works in an office. She has an older brother who lives in the same city, and her parents are retired and live an hours’ drive away. She is officially single, but she is seeing someone casually. Someone will be arriving to visit Noor.
The brief
Your play should address the fact that someone is visiting Noor; we do not know who is coming, when they are arriving, why they are visiting, how Noor feels about this, or anything else. This is entirely up to you. Your play should be written from an “outsider” point of view; a friend, a family member, a colleague, her dog, her (sentient) Alexa, the barista in her favourite coffee shop, the homeless person in front of her office building, the office cat, etc. Noor must not be a character in your play. We will never meet her.
Any genre is welcome.
Max. 10-12 minutes (6-7 pages) – your play can be shorter, of course!
Max. 3 actors – more characters are possible if actors double up, of course you can write a monologue or duologue too.
Free to enter. Successful scripts will be included in a fully staged anthology production with the other winning entries in a week at a London pub theatre in June.
