The free-to-enter Terence Rattigan Society Award offers a first prize of £2,500 and a guaranteed theatre production to the winner of the best new play written for theatre.
The competition is for original, fulllength theatre plays at least 75 minutes long, preferably with an interval. Plays should be for no more than six actors (doubling is allowed). Plays must not previously have been performed, or won another award. Playwrights may submit up to two entries. The final judges will be writer Julian Fellowes, director Thea Sharrock, drama professor Dan Reballato and actor David Suchet.
