Oban writing group is seeking submission­s

-

An Oban writing group is seeking submission­s for its new project that will be turned into a book and theatre show.

Wurdplay, which recently sold out of its latest poetry book, is creating a stage production titled Living Cells.

‘We want short scripts for the stage,’ Jamie Livingston­e explains.

‘Here are the vague guidelines: The writing has to be made up of interview and monologue.

‘It can be fiction or non-fiction. It could be a police interview, one at the job centre or with a journalist.

‘It could be an archeologi­st interviewi­ng a drug dealer or an archaeolog­ist who is a drug dealer being interviewe­d by a police man who wants to be an archaeolog­ist. Anything you can think of. Play about.

‘As long as it is made up of interview and monologue then it’s fine. Use any language you see fit. Oh and make it short. Eight pages maximum please.

‘Work that is accepted will be produced for the stage. People of your choice can be the actors or we can help find actors for your piece. ‘

Send writing to: wurdplaywr­iting@gmail.com.

The deadline for submission­s is January 21 2018.

The Wurdplay writing group is on from 2.30-4pm in the Hope Kitchen. Everyone is welcome.
