Script Competition

We are very proud to announce…

Win the chance to stage YOUR PLAY at Stoke Rep Theatre!

Malcolm Rushton was a long-standing, hard-working and much-loved member of Stoke Rep Theatre. He was a great supporter of anyone who wanted to do something new in the Stoke-on-Trent theatre scene, including writing, setting up a drama group and staging productions. This Prize For Playwriting is in memory of Malcolm.

THE COMPETITION: Writers are invited to submit an extract from a play they have written. This must be new and original work and not any form of adaptation. Entries should consist of a synopsis of the plot and an excerpt from the script.

WHAT NEXT: Please contact scriptcomp@stokerep.co.uk for full instructions and entry form.

ACT NOW! Closing date for submitting entries is 31 December 2025.
