Open Submissions: How does it work?

Royal Court Theatre (London)

Synopsis

The founding promise of the Royal Court Theatre since 1956 is simple: anyone in the world writing in English can send us their play, we will read it, and if it's good enough it can make its way to our stages. The plays have been coming ever since, and in 2026 that promise is more vital to the playwriting ecology than ever before. Got a play you're ready to share with the world? Join key members of the Royal Court's artistic team to discuss our Open Submissions process in glorious detail. Discover how the submissions process works, learn what we're looking for and how you can put your best foot forward as a writer submitting your work to us. This is a free, ticketed event for Writers' Card members.
