TheatreCloud’s Tell a Tale competition invites 500-word short stories in the theme of ‘making change happen’.
The competition celebrates this autumn’s touring production of Mike Poulton’s stage adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, which premieres at Royal & Derngate, Northampton, on 12 September.
At each town on the tour, TheatreCloud and the judges of Tell a Tale will select two stories. An actor will chose their favourite and perform a filmed reading, which will be posted online. In the last week of the tour, judges will select an overall winner, who will get £300, and a runner-up, who will get £150. There will be a third prize for the audience’s favourite story.
