Everyone Has The Right

Ice and Fire and Amnesty International UK | Deadline: December 31, 2012

Don’t get it right, get it writ Tony Grounds

Rolling script submission service for plays with Human Rights at their heart.

Everyone Has the Right is a rolling script submission service (ie there is no deadline) for plays with human rights at their heart. A joint initiative of Ice and Fire with Amnesty International UK, Everyone Has the Right provides a natural home for writers exploring human rights stories to create surprising and entertaining theatre.

Writers are invited to submit theatre scripts that they believe fulfil the aim of Everyone Has the Right. Feedback will be provided by a member of the Ice and Fire team to the writer on how effective the play is in terms of theatricality, dialogue, and characterisation as well as whether it successfully fulfils the brief of exploring a human rights story.

The best plays will receive professional rehearsed readings at Amnesty International UK's central London Human Rights Action Centre or a partner theatre. Those writers that they feel would benefit from longer term development will be paired with a dramaturg for more in-depth work on their script.
