Made From Scratch Theatre Company

Made From Scratch are a company that support and develop new plays. The writer’s vision is at the heart of what we do. We encourage writers to tell the stories they are compelled to tell.

We work with writers regardless of age, experience, gender or background; building long term relationships to encourage a creative understanding between company and writer.

We seek out new talent and fresh voices to move theatre forward.

SUBMISSIONS OPEN

We are delighted to announce that we will be returning to Rich Mix on November 30th for our latest Scratch Night and we want to put your work on stage.

The theme...

In 2005 YouTube launched with a simple message, "Broadcast Yourself". Since then it has gone on to become a global sensation with 6 billion hours of video watched each month. It has changed the way we create and consume media and may be better reflecting our society than the mainstream media.

Made From Scratch invite you to explore this cultural phenomenon with us in our latest Scratch Night. We are looking for mini plays inspired by one video from YouTube's millions. It could be a perennial favourite or something more obscure. You might choose to directly explore the situation or characters within the film or merely use them as a starting off point. The choice is entirely up to you.

Submissions:

• We are ideally looking for plays that are around ten minutes long.
• Once you've written your masterpiece please email it to us at: info@madefromscratchtheatre.co.uk
• Please also include a link to the video that's inspired you.
• Put Scratch Night YouTube in the subject line.
• Please make sure that your NAME and contact details are NOT on the script but on a separate attachment. All submissions are read blind to avoid bias. Include your name, email and phone number on the separate attachment.

The deadline for submissions is Monday 28th October at 5.00pm. Selected plays will be paired with top directing and acting talent and be presented on the Rich Mix stage Saturday 30th November.

Happy writing!
