First of all a note to all radio listeners (non-listeners this is your chance to tune in), playwright Benjamin Yeoh, author of Yellow Gentleman will have his play Patent Breaking Life Saving broadcast on the BBC Worldservice, December 2nd 2006 at 1900GMT. This is generally a good source to hear new writing every week so I recommend tuning in.
Furthermore, the writers among you may be interested to know that the BBC is running its tenth biennial International Playwriting Competition, run in conjunction with the British Council. Submissions are open to over 16’s to write a 60-7 minute play with at least 6 central characters. The winner will receive a £2500 prize and the chance to see his/her work produced by the BBC for radio. Submission deadline is April 30th 2007. Get writing!
