26/7/2016

We are pleased to announce the short list of 20 plays (out of 170) that have made it through to the final round of judging. The titles are listed below. The authors are not listed at this stage so that the remaining stage can take place anonymously.

The duplicate titles are intentional as there have been several entries with the same name.

A Starman's Rating In The Sky
David Who!
I want to be a Superhuman
King's Lead Hat
Laura
Life on Mars
Looking for Jolene
Modern Love
Mr Fantastic
Pre-lash

Strangers When We Meet
The Glass Spider
The Golden Years
The Lady Next Door
The Man Who Mis-sold The World
Try To Get It On Like Once Before

Hi Guys -

Thanks for long-listing my submission. Maybe I'll make the short list next time. I notice your comment about duplicate titles. What happens if one of two similarly-named pieces gets through but the other doesn't? Without the authors' names attached, how will each know whether or not they've been successful?

Thanks Anna. We are currently in the process of getting in touch with all the 44 long-listed writers individually to let them know whether or not they have made it through to the shortlist. Everyone should be notified very shortly by email and will then know whether the play title in the short list refers to theirs (if they haven't heard by now). At this stage, the judging is still anonymous, hence no names are being published yet. When we announce the final ten plays the author's name will be published alongside their play title. I hope this answers your query. The plays have been wonderfully diverse and very imaginative and of a very high standard. The judges have thoroughly enjoyed reading all of them, it has been a tough task whittling it down. Thank you very much for taking part and for submitting a play, we hope you enjoyed writing it as much as the judges did reading it.
