I was just going to ask them that. Also how many characters? I'll send them a message.

I applied last year and I was told there wasn't a cap on the amount of actors.

Also - I was unsuccessful, but there was no feedback. They did have a few hundred mind, so I can't blame them.

I sent them my one and only play.
Very cheap to make. Three actors. Two sets.

So what are they looking for?

Plays for mature adults that address issues or adventure-type plays or comedies or what?

I wish they would be more specific and give us something to work with, like a theme or a genre or even just a keyword to write your play around.

Have you looked at their website? You can look at the archives to get an idea of some the past winners.

Cheers, after looking at their website it seems they prefer the more mature play i.e. with a message and all that.

Well, that's no fun at all

Why isn't it fun? I sent them a "message" play, but it's still amusing and quirky in places.
