We are opening our doors to writers who are keen to submit an entry for The Women's Prize for Playwriting with an exciting Q&A!
The session will be hosted by the Literary Manager of the Women’s Prize, Charlie Coulthard, and Sheffield Theatres’ Artist Development Manager, Ruby Clarke at Sheffield Theatres on Wednesday 5 March at 1pm. They will talk about the history of the prize and the impact that it has had, as well as offering advice on what the readers are looking for and answering any questions writers might have about entering.
This event is for anyone considering submitting a play this year to come along, have a listen, or ask anything they want to know.
