FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER
A NATIONWIDE SEARCH TO FIND A FIRST PLAY BY AN UNKNOWN
WRITER TO BE STAGED IN THE WEST END
THE PLAY'S THE THING
THE THEATRICAL EVENT OF THE YEAR
It takes originality, vision and imagination to make it
as a successful playwright in theatre, let alone the
West End. In a unique initiative, Channel 4 launched a
search for a first time playwright and attracted
submissions from more than 2,000 un-produced writers.
The winning writer will now see their play produced as a
fully staged West End production, with a first-class
director, creative team and cast.
The accompanying Channel 4 series, The Play's the Thing,
is being shown during June and follows the progress of
amateur writers, from the earliest stages of selection
through to a full West End stage production. Three top
theatre professionals whittled down submissions to a
shortlist of three and the winner has now been selected.
A brand-new name will emerge into the spotlight to
experience all the drama of public scrutiny and
first-night nerves as the curtain goes up on their West
End debut.
You could be one of the first to see the play when it
opens for a 12 week run at the New Ambassadors Theatre
from 12th June. The play's 'secret' previews begin on
Monday 12th June, (the same date that the first episode
of the television programme is shown), and the winning
play will be announced during the series.
