Does your company accept unsolicited scripts? What is your preferred method of script submission (e.g. full scripts, 10-page extracts, synopses)? Do you prefer hard copy (if so, to what address) or electronic submission (if so, to what email)?
Aisling Ghéar accepts unsolicited scripts. We would prefer to receive full scripts, and in hard copy. Plays should be addressed to: Bríd Ó Gallchoir, An Chultúrlann, 216 Falls Road, Belfast BT12 6AH. No need to include SAE. What should writers expect if they send a script to you? (E.g. written acknowledgement, length of time between submission and response, feedback, etc.)
A writer will receive written acknowledgment from us and can expect to have the script read within one month and to receive a written response. What structures does your company generally employ when working on new writing (commissions, workshops, readings, work-in-progress presentations, one-on-one dramaturgical meetings, etc.)?
Aisling Ghéar produces new writing usually through a process of commissions, workshops and readings. Finances willing, Aisling Ghéar hope to launch a new writing programme for the year 2016/17. Information about this will be forthcoming and available on our website.
