Everyone Has the Right

Everyone Has the Right is a rolling script submission service (i.e. there is NO deadline) for plays with human rights at their heart. A joint initiative with Amnesty International UK, Everyone Has the Right provides a natural home for writers exploring human rights stories to create surprising and entertaining theatre.

But how can human rights be transformed from formalised, aspirational ideals to real, breathing situations that form the basis for excellent theatre?

Submissions

Please send your script, short synopsis (no more than 200 words) and cover sheet (Download as Word Doc or as PDF file) to: Everyone Has the Right, iceandfire, Toynbee Hall, 28 Commercial Street, London, E1 6LS.

Plays from outside of the UK are welcomed but we are only able to report on new plays, that have not been professionally produced, written in English. Plays can be of any length, but we will only read full scripts (no outlines or synopses please) written for theatre. We cannot accept scripts by email or fax. You will receive an emailed report within two months of submission.

“Truth in drama is forever elusive. You never quite find it but the search for it is compulsive. The search is clearly what drives the endeavour. The search is your task.”

Harold Pinter, Nobel Prize for Literature acceptance speech, 2005

Supported by the Unity Theatre Trust.
