Hampstead Theatre has changed its submissions policy and will now only consider unsolicited scripts during its submissions window, which is due to close on 31 December 2015. It will reopen each year in July.
Striving to produce theatre that ‘presents new perspectives and engages with the world we live in today’ the theatre receives over 1,000 scripts a year, all of which are considered, but only around twelve new plays a year are commissioned. There is, however, a studio space, where the theatre can experiment and explore new ideas that will hopefully become future main house productions. To give your play its best chance it is advised you familiarise yourself with Hampstead Theatre’s current productions before submitting.
