Tandem at Ten: Call Out

Tandem at Ten, A Festival of Words

It’s our 10th birthday this year, can you believe it!

We want to celebrate this momentous occasion by sharing the Tandem stage with some bold new voices. Got a story that’s burning to be told? We are looking for 2 emerging, female identifying or non-binary playwrights (no more than one professional production) to join our ‘Festival of Words’ this September at The Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh on Saturday 26th September.

This, one night only, festival will combine many written art forms and in celebration of our ten years in Scottish theatre we are pledging to work with ten new artists in a variety of different ways.

What we’re looking for

  • Original work that has not been professionally produced, responding to the themes of growth, transformation and time.

  • Plays from Scottish writers, or writers based in Scotland.

  • A script that requires no more than 3 actors.

  • One 10-minute script per playwright (roughly 10 pages).

  • A brief bio, including why you’re right for this project (no more than 400 words).

  • Prop-light stories.

  • Stories that require little to no set.

Deadline: Monday 27th July, 6pm
