The deadline has been extended to December 31 to submit entries for the TheatreFest15 play-writing competition.
The TheatreFest15 New Work Award invites writers to submit a one-act play on slavery.
The competition is open to writers, be they established or emerging, not only in the British Isles but also anywhere in the world.
The winning entry will be produced in 2016 for one night at the Talisman Theatre in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, and be staged at the Gaiety Theatre, Douglas, as part of that year’s TheatreFest programme.
TheatreFest15 is a five-year project encouraging new work for the theatre and is a partnership between the Isle of Man Arts Council and the National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA).
NODA chief executive Tony Gibbs said: ‘We hope to give even more writers the opportunity to be part of this exciting inaugural venture. www.theatrefest15.com
