Barnstorm 30
Barnstorm Theatre Company, Kilkenny, celebrated its 30th year in 2021 and now seeks new works for performance in exciting and new spaces.
Calling all writers; Barnstorm is seeking new plays to excite, challenge and entertain its family audiences in a series of open-air performances situated on park benches. Clandestine meetings, espionage, chance encounters – the socially-distant audience will ‘spy’ on the drama from afar in a unique theatre experience.
Each play will be 15 – 30 minutes in duration and confined to a park bench with up to 3 actors.
Writers are asked to submit a synopsis of their play idea with character description and sample dialogue.
A number of these ideas will be selected to be developed to first draft script for which writers will receive a development fee of €500.
The final pieces that make the selection will be given full production in Kilkenny as part Barnstorm’s 2022 summer programme. Those chosen for this phase will receive a commissioning fee.
Submissions to be emailed to the Artistic Director, Philip Hardy philip@barnstorm.ie
Deadline for submissions is 5pm Friday 25 March 2022.
