The Play's The Thing from Channel 4

ABOUT YOUR PLAY

We need the following from you:

a synopsis - about 200-300 words to tell us the story of your play. Here's an example synopsis.

some extracts from your scenes or play to look at your potential as a writer, including how well you can write dialogue. These should amount to about 15-20 pages, in play format.

a description of your characters - about 20 words for each of them, plus a list of how many people are going to be in your play, which are male and which female, and how old they are. Here's an example Dramatis Personae list.

one paragraph to tell us why you chose this idea.

That's it! Send it to us by email at theplay@channel4.com or by post to The Play's The Thing, BCM Box 3619, London. WC1N 3XX, once you have completed the About You section and read the Terms & Conditions.

**PLEASE NOTE: At this stage, full-length plays should not be submitted and will not be considered**
