Literary Departments and Script Submissions

Stewart Parker Trust invited professional theatre companies in Ireland, North and South, to outline their policies and submission guidelines in relation to new plays and playwrights.

We suggested the following headings:

Does your company accept unsolicited scripts? 

What is your preferred method of script submission (e.g. full scripts, 10 page 
extracts, synopses)? 

What should writers expect if they send a script to you?

Is there a designated point of contact in your company for new writing?

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.)?

What kind of new writing is your company interested in?
