Deadline: May 31, 2024
We want pride to be a springboard for writers, not a limitation. We are fascinated to see how writers interpret Pride, this could be LGBTQAI+ pride, pride in your hometown, pride in yourself or even the sin of being prideful.
- Homegrown is open to all, but we are particularly keen to hear from Luton voices and writers from or based in the Home Counties.
- Submissions must be received by midnight on Friday 31st May via email and attached as a PDF or Word document.
- We ask that the Subject Line for email submissions read: HOMEGROWN – Play Submission – INSERT YOUR NAME
- In your submission email please include a short paragraph, introducing yourself, and your connection to Luton.
- Only play scripts will be accepted, intended for live performance. Film, TV and Radio scripts will not be accepted.
- Your piece must be no longer than 10 mins in duration, therefore we would advise a page count of 10-12 pages maximum.
- Your piece must work with basic sound/lighting and minimal props.
- We recommended cast sizes are kept low, ideally a cast of 1-4.
- Adaptations will not be accepted. We are looking for new plays inspired by this festival’s theme: Pride.
