Anyone can send a play to be considered for production at A Play, A Pie and A Pint

 

Anyone can send a play to be considered for production at A Play, A Pie and A Pint. There is a submissions window which is open for three months at a time. Playwrights' Studio Scotland runs this service for A Play, A Pie and A Pint.

A Play, A Pie and A Pint produces a new lunchtime play every week. You can get a sense of their work from visiting their website or from seeing a show.

There's some guidance on this page about what work you can send to be read for consideration. If your play doesn't fit the criteria it can't be considered for A Play, A Pie and A Pint, but you can send any full length play to Playwrights' Studio's National Script Reading Service which is open all year and provides feedback to every Scottish or Scotland-based writer.

 

How do I submit a play? 

 
 
 

Submissions

Please use the A Play, A Pie and A Pint Script Reading Service form.

Please don't include any details that identify you as the writer on your script as all plays are read anonymously.

Equalities Monitoring

As part of the submission you'll be asked to provide some demographic information about yourself. This is for our overall equalities monitoring and is processed separately from your submission.

What happens next?

 

You will receive an email from Jotform confirming the submission of your script. All plays are read by experienced script readers who work in the wider industry as actors, writers, directors, dramaturgs, producers or in other roles and who work closely with the team at A Play, A Pie and A Pint to match work to their stages. They'll recommend whether A Play, A Pie and A Pint takes your play further.

You'll be notified within twelve weeks of the script window closing on Friday, 22nd December 2023 whether or not your script has been recommended to A Play, A Pie and A Pint. If your play is recommended for production, it'll be read further within the Play, A Pie and A Pint team and from there, they'll arrange to meet with you. A recommendation for production does not guarantee the play will be produced but may lead to conversations about future work.
