Are you a playwright based in the UK who would love to work with Middle Child? From next week, for one-week only, we're accepting scripts so that we can get to know writers we may work with in the future.
All of the details, including what we are and are not looking for, and where to send your script, are on our website (link in bio).
Pictured is our 2025 production of Biting Point by Sid Sagar, who participated in our 2020 associate writer programme following an open call out.
In the first week of May, Middle Child will accept submissions of full theatre scripts, for our literary manager to read. All you need to do is send it to scripts@middlechildtheatre.co.uk with your name and a location. Please include page numbers.
We want to read a script that shows off your voice and what you like to write about. We’re interested in untold stories that make sense of the world today. We are also only looking for one script per writer.
Any writer, based in the UK, who is aged 18 or above and who does not have a pre-existing relationship with Middle Child. This window is an opportunity for us to meet new writers rather than find new plays, so is not open to writers whose work we have already read.
