Script callout by Sarah Deller

Have you written a short play about the climate crisis? Do you have a thrutopian idea you’d like to test out as a short play? Do you want to try a new form of writing in a low pressure way?

I’m seeking short plays for a night of play readings on January 27th 2025.

I’m specifically looking for plays that are in development. I’ll be offering dramaturgical support to the plays selected and written feedback to anyone else who would like it.

Plays should be full plays between 10-15 minutes long. Excerpts are acceptable IF they can stand alone.

This opportunity is for women and nonbinary writers comfortable with appearing in a festival of women writers. (I’ll be specifying on all copy that writers featured are women and / or nonbinary!).

Email submissions and any questions to coarsetheplay@gmail.com

Submissions close January 13th 2025 at 11:59pm GMT.

New theatre project by Sarah Deller

Time for an official update: I have started doing research and interviews for a new play about wildfires. So far I’ve interviewed firefighters, reptile rescue volunteers, and people who have been evacuated from their homes due to wildfires.

I’m also working on quite a few non-theatre writing projects at the moment.

If you or someone you know has been impacted by wildfires, please get in touch with me through social media or at forestfireplay@gmail.com

More to come!
