Playwriting Opportunity Pilot Cavan County Council

Cavan County Council is delighted to announce the Playwriting Opportunity as a pilot initiative in 2022.  The Playwriting Opportunity is aimed at supporting two theatre artists whose work explores questions and ideas that are of compelling interest to our life and times.  We are interested in hearing from ambitious, innovative theatre makers who are researching and working on fresh ideas to create new theatre.  This is a research and writing award allowing space and time to create.   

There will be two awards of €3,000 in 2022.   The award will include access to desk space in a communal area.  The successful applicants will be motivated by one of the following: 

• Themes on contemporary culture(s). 
• County Cavan – its borders, character, cultural identity, and memory. 

Contact Danielle McDermott dmcdermott@cavancoco.ie / 049 4378549 for application form.  Closing Date Monday 11 July.
