News

Lots of announcements and news for writers and actors in our August meeting:

The launch of our regular drama podcast: We’re currently post-producing the three winning plays from our last competition. The three full-cast audio dramas will then make up the first programmes in Sussex Playwrights’ new podcast feature.

Publishing: Sussex Playwrights is developing a plan using print-on-demand services to publish selected plays and writing under the Sussex Playwrights banner, so it can be available to companies, producers and actors worldwide.

Things are changing! You can be a part of this exciting new concept for Sussex Playwrights.
