SCRIPT SUBMISSIONS 

Theatre at the Library will take place on October 14 and 15 2026 presenting three performances in a uniquely configured studio space in Whitton Library Richmond. Scripts are fully rehearsed and performed to professional workshop production level. This is not a rehearsed reading!.

We are looking for original work that will excite and  entertain a live audience of highly informed theatre goers, creatives and industry professionals and an enthusiastically supportive local following. 

The play lengths that work best for us are either half length (30-40 mins) or one act (15 – 20 minutes). but these are a guide only and there is flexibility around running times.  We are happy with any cast size from monologue upwards but we cannot consider scripts with more than 4 in the cast. A fee is payable to each writer whose work is performed.

We always encourage writers to see their work in person, to meet the cast and to promote the show to their own networks and contacts. For this reason the project is mainly one for UK based writers.

Send your script (one only per writer please) to Barry Edwards: mail@barryedwards.net with a brief biog, call open until closing date June 15 2026. Looking forward to reading your work!
